A new species of amphipod of the genus Lysianopsis from the Veracruz Coral Reef System, SW Gulf of Mexico is described. Lysianopsis adelae n. sp., was collected in the sediments at the base of the sponge Aplysina fistularis at a depth of 10 m. The differences among L. alba, L. hummelincki, and L. ozona, recorded from Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea are pointed out and they are compared with the new species.

A new species of Leptostraca, Nebalia villalobosi, is described from the Veracruz Coral Reef System, SW Gulf of Mexico. The new species was found associated with the sponge Ircinia fistularis (Demospongiae) from the Blanquilla reef at a depth of 12 m. It differs from the closely related species N. longicornis and N. lagartensis in the form of the eyes and rostrum, the number of articles in the antennular and antennal flagella, the inner border of article 3 on the mandible palp, the length of the exopod of maxilla 2, the rounded denticles on pleonite 6, the enlarged tip on pleopod 5, and the caudal furcae being slightly longer than the telson and pleonite 7 combined. This is the first record of a leptostracan associated with the sponge Ircinia fistularis.

Abstract The family Santiidae consists of five genera and 29 species at present, included in the Suborder Asellota. In the northwest Atlantic this family is represented only by the genera Santia (two species), Halacarsantia (one species) and Spinosantia (one species). The present paper deals with the description of a new species of the genus Halacarsantia, collected at the Sisal Coral Reef System, Yucatan, Veracruz. The new species of Halacarsantia represents the 29th asellote isopod discovered in the Gulf of Mexico and brings the total number of species of Halacarsantia to eight. The main differences between the new species and all others in the genus are: mandibular palp present; frontal lobe 0.5× as wide as maximum width of head, with 18 robust setae; coxae of all pereopods dorsally visible; eyes directly settled on each sides of head. A key to the species of Halacarsantia is included.

Coral Reef System

A new species of Curidia is described based on material collected from Sisal Coral Reef System, south-east Gulf of Mexico, Mexico. It is the eighth species of this genus described worldwide. Curidia nunoi sp. nov. is morphologically similar to C. wakabarae and C. andreae. Curidia nunoi sp. nov., however, differs from these two species by a combination of several characters, including: the posteroventral spine of peduncle articles 1 and 2 of antenna 1, the distoventral spine of peduncle article 4 of antenna 2, the distal margin of coxa of gnathopod 1, the dactylus of gnathopod 2, the inner and outer plates of maxilla 1, and the distal margin of telson. The global geographical distribution of the genus Curidia is mostly from tropical to subtropical seas; five species are documented in the southern hemisphere and three in the northern hemisphere. Only C. debrogania, C. monicae, and C. nunoi sp. nov. are restricted to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.

A New Species

A new species of amphipod of the genus Nuuanu is described and illustrated, and is diagnosed against the morphologically most similar species. It was collected in coral rubble from a tropical coral reef, NW Caribbean Sea. The new species increases the number of Nuuanu species recorded to 20 worldwide. Nuuanu jaumei sp. nov., can be distinguished from other members of the genus by a combination of characters: head with bigeminal dispersed eyes; mammiliform lateral cephalic lobe; anteroventral notch of head well defined; antenna 1 geniculate; accessory flagellum 3–articulate; coxa 5 devoid of seta on ventromedial margin; article 2 anteroventral corner of pereopod 5 with a strong setae; epimera 1, 2, 3 with 2, 4, 1 ventral robust setae respectively; telson longer than broad; female gnathopod 2 with 2 long and slender setae on posterior margin. In addition, a key for the identification of all known male species of the genus Nuuanu, and another for the identification of the females, are also presented.
