Records of mud shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Axiidea and Gebiidae) from Pacific Mexico

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 94(2):369-388.

A total of 75 specimens belonging to four species of thalassinoids were collected in the intertidal and estuarine zones of two localities along the Pacific coast of Mexico. Callianassa tabogensis is recorded for the first time in Mexico, and is transferred to the genus Neotrypaea. Material of Callichirus is assigned to Callichirus seilacheri with some doubts due to taxonomic problems related to this genus in the eastern Pacific. Neocallichirus cf. grandimana, an amphi-American species described for the western Atlantic and previously reported in Ecuador and along the Pacific coast of Panama and Colombia, is reported for the first time in Mexico. Upogebia dawsoni is recorded for the second time from the coast of Jalisco. An updated list of Axiidea and Gebiidea known from the Mexican Pacific is provided, including 35 species.
