<p><em>Aristelliger georgeensis</em>, previously known to occur in the Yucatan peninsula (Mexico), the coasts and islands from Belize and Honduras, and the oceanic islands of Colombia in the Caribbean (San Andres, Providence and Saint Catalina) was registered for the first time in Roncador Cay, a flat and small island of coralline origin, located in the southwest of the Caribbean. Being considered as an endangered species at the national level, the new locality for this gecko constitutes an opportunity for its conservation. Some topics regarding the possible origins of this new population are discussed. This new locality represents the eastern most documented record of this species so far.</p><p><strong>La especie amenazada <em>A</em><em>ristelliger georgeensis</em> (Squamata: Sphaerodactylidae) en el Cayo Roncador, Caribe colombiano</strong></p><p><em>Aristelliger georgeensis</em>, previamente conocido de la península de Yucatán (México), las costas e islas de Belice y Honduras y de las islas oceánicas de Colombia en el Caribe (San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina), fue registrado por primera vez en el Cayo Roncador, una isla plana y pequeña de origen coralino, ubicada en el suroccidente del Caribe.

For the first time a parasitic relationship between a water mite larva and a Cladocera is found and documented by scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging. A Unionicolidae larva (cf. Unionicola) has been found attached to a Bosmina tubicen (Cladocera) collected in a karst sinkhole (cenote) in the southeast of the Yucatán Peninsula (México).

SummaryIn this paper the diversity of the Leguminosae family in the Yucatán Peninsula is presented, explaining it by subfamilies, genus and species and in each of the three states of the Peninsula, as well as the distribution of the family in the different vegetation types and associations and in the secondary vegetation derived from both of them. The forage species that can be used combined with graminae to feed cattle like goats and sheep are also presented.

Background. The Gracilariaceae is one of the most diverse and abundant families of marine red algae. Most species in this family exhibit high morphological variability and overlapping of characters. In the Yucatan Peninsula 30 species have been historically recorded, but the phylogenetic identity for many of them is still unknown. Questions: Is the current diversity of the family in the area overestimated? Studied species: Crassiphycus caudatus, C. corneus, C. usneoides, Gracilaria flabelliformis, G. hayi, G. cf isabellana, G. microcarpa, G. occidentalis, G. suzanneae, Gracilariopsis tenuifrons. Study site and dates: Campeche: km 33 carretera Champotón, Bahía Tortuga, Puente Xen Kan III, Punta Xen, Sabancuy, 2017, 2018; Yucatan: Puerto Sisal, Puerto Progreso, Puerto Chicxulub, Puerto Telchac, 2018; Quintana Roo: Playa 88, Xcalacoco, Punta Esmeralda, 2019. Methods. Phylogenetic analysis (with COI-5P and rbcL sequences), supported by DNA species delimitation methods, genetic distances and morphological comparisons, allowed us to molecularly identify the specimens collected. Results. The phylogenetic identity of 10 species of Gracilariaceae was confirmed, two of which are new records for the Mexican Atlantic: G. hayi and G. suzanneae. Conclusion. The study demonstrated that the molecular assessment has proved to be very useful for the diversity evaluation, thus, the future phylogenetic identifies for the rest of morphospecies recorded in the area will allow a better approximation of Gracilariaceae diversity species.

First Time

Amaranthaceae s.s. (Caryophyllales) is a cosmopolitan family well represented in the Yucatan Peninsula Biotic Province (YPBP). The YPBP is a biogeographic area that comprises entirely three Mexican states (Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatan), partially two Mexican states (Chiapas and Tabasco), northern Belize, and northern Guatemala (Petén department). Most of the available checklists of the vascular plants from the Yucatan Peninsula (YP) merely include taxa from the Mexican states of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatan. A study of the Amaranthaceae diversity in the YPBP in its expanded delimitation is here presented for the first time, on the basis of field surveys and examinations of the specimens kept in the main Mexican herbaria (CICY, ENCB and MEXU). Accepted names, main synonyms, morphological descriptions, phenology, habitat, elevation, ethnobotanical uses, vernacular Spanish and Mayan names, origin status, and digital illustrations are provided for each taxon. Keys of identification are also given. Each taxon was geographically mapped using ArcGIS software. Notes about diversity and distribution analyses were conducted comparing maps of distribution for each taxon considering vegetation types and climatic types characterizing the YPBP. A total of 28 species (with 4 varieties) representing nine genera of Amaranthaceae s.s. (excluding Iresine) ocurring in the YPBP were studied. An estimate of the family diversity in the YPBP is increased here, as records of four new taxa are presented for this region. Results suggest that most of the taxa are natives, aliens, and/or weeds mostly occupying perturbed vegetation types. Only Blutaparon vermiculare, Amaranthus greggii, and A. arenicola show affinity to sand dunes primary vegetation. This new information about the distribution of Amaranthaceae s.s. in the YPBP, considering its invasion and origin status, can help to develop further studies focused on conservative approaching to know more about natural biogeographic regions such as YPBP.

A New Species

Abstract A new stygobitic isopod from the anchialine systems of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, is described, bringing the total number of anchialine isopods to seven. Curassanthura yucatanensis sp. nov. of the family Leptanthuridae is the first species of the genus to be recorded from a continental site. It can be distinguished from the other known species in the genus by the shape of the head, wider than long, and the number of robust setae (30) on the palmar margin of the propodus of pereopod 1.
