New records are provided for four species of decapod crustaceans in the eastern Pacific. Hymenopenaeus nereus (Faxon, 1893) was collected further north and further from the coast than previously known. The distribution of Heterocarpus hostilis Faxon, 1893 is extended from off Panama to off Mexico. Parhippolyte cavernicola Wicksten, 1996, previously known only from the type locality in the Gulf of California, Mexico, has been found in a cave in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. Moloha faxoni (Schmitt, 1921) is reported for the first time within the Gulf of California, Mexico.

Gulf Of Tehuantepec

In the Tropical Eastern Pacific region, the gammaridean amphipods of the families Maeridae and Melitidae are represented by 28 species and 11 genera; the genus Elasmopus is the richest, with 13 species. The examination of approximately 3,250 specimens resulted in 12 new records from the Gulf of Tehuantepec, belonging to four genera, Elasmopus, Maera, Quadrimaera and Melita. All species are illustrated and described. Seven new species are described as: Elasmopus bastidai n. sp., Elasmopus karlae n. sp., Elasmopus lecroyae n. sp., Elasmopus marcelae n. sp., Elasmopus oaxaquensis n. sp., Maera umarae n. sp., and Melita bousfieldi n. sp. With these new species the genus Elasmopus from the Tropical Eastern Pacific is increased to 18 species that corroborates the hypothesis of Barnard (1979) “on the Pacific there are (sic) a mark of speciation of genus Elasmopus”. In addition, there are five new records from the Gulf of Tehuantepec: three species of Elasmopus and two of Quadrimaera. Also, the range distribution of Elasmopus temori Barnard and E. zoanthidea Barnard, is increased to the north from the Galapagos Islands to the Gulf of Tehuantepec; for E. tubar Barnard, Quadrimaera chinarra Barnard, and Q. reishi Barnard, there are new intermediate records between the Gulf of California and the Galapagos Islands. With the exception of the species of Quadrimaera, all known species represent the second record in the region after their first descriptions.

A taxonomic analysis of diatoms found on Phyllodictyon pulcherrimum yielded a total of 244 diatom taxa (all illustrated) within 27 orders, 45 families, and 86 genera. The Taxa were briefly documented in a list including identification references and morphometric data. Thirty-eight of the taxa identified at the species and infraspecific levels represent new records for the coasts of Mexico. Seven were recorded for the first time on the American continent: Auricula flabelliformis, A. pulchra, Campylodiscus scalaris, Coscinodiscus mesoleius, Dimeregramma fulvum, Navicula palpebralis var. angulosa, and Seminavis barbarae, and one, Nitzschia fusiformis, for the Pacific Ocean. This is the second record of the chlorophyte P. pulcherrimum in the north Pacific and the third for Mexican waters. The results confirm that surveying rare macroalgae species as hosts for epiphytic diatoms provides opportunities to seek new records of diatom taxa, or even new taxa, in regions around the world.

Collections of decapod crustaceans associated with scleractinian corals at Gorgona Island, Colombia, have provided material for a revision of the eastern Pacific specics of Trapezia (Brachyura, Xanthidae), obligate symbionts of the coral Pocillopora. Four sympatric specie are recognized: T. corallina Gerstaecker, T. formosa Smith, T. ferruginea Latreille, and T. digitalis Latreille. Two species of symbiotic natantian shrimps [Harpiliopsis spinigera (OrtmannJ from Pocillopora and Periclhnenes soror Nobili from asteroids] are recorded from Gorgona for the first time.

Issus kabylicus Dlabola, 1989 is recorded for the first time from Tunisia and I. vaucheri Gnezdilov, 2017 – from Spain. I. kabylicus is redescribed and illustrated. Male and female genitalia of I. coleoptratus (Fabricius, 1781) are described and illustrated based on the specimens from Germany (type locality). Relationships of African Issus species are discussed. Close relationships of I. climacus Fieber, 1876 to Madeiran and Canarian Issus species are revealed.
