Decapoda (Crustacea) 0fthe Gulf of Mexico, with comments on the Amphionidacea

Joseph Goy

Mithracid crabs comprise a primarily subtidal reef- and rubble-dwelling group inhabiting both tropical and subtropical seas. Despite their relative ubiquity in many hard-substrate environments, there has been little consensus about their phylogenetic relationships or whether their group rank should be that of subfamily or family. We have used a combined molecular dataset of two nuclear (18S, H3) and three mitochondrial (12S, 16S, COI) genes to build a preliminary molecular phylogeny of Majoidea in order to examine the membership of Mithracidae. We then built a second molecular phylogeny based on three mitochondrial genes to assess the internal composition of the family, and conducted comparative morphological examinations of genera and species that resolved in unexpected positions on the phylogram. Four genera are designated under new or resurrected names on the basis of molecular and morphological characters, while memberships of several other existing genera are modified. Following review of molecular and morphological characters, the genera Coelocerus, Cyclocoeloma, Cyphocarcinus, Leptopisa, Micippa, Picrocerodes, Stenocionops and Tiarinia are provisionally excluded from Mithracidae s.s., while Hemus and Pitho are included in it. A key to genera of Mithracidae is provided.

A collection of Majoidea Samouelle, 1819 crabs carried out during the KARUBENTHOS 2012 Expedition to Guadeloupe Island and sorted during an international workshop at Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise in 2013 is reported. A total of 60 species are identified, 30 being new records for Guade-loupe Island. Each species is presented with notes on habitat, geographical distribution and previous records for the Lesser Antilles. A documented list of 42 additional Majoidea species is also proposed for the Lesser Antilles Islands based on a bibliographic research. A total of 102 Majoidea crabs are currently reported from the Lesser Antilles, of which 81 around Guadeloupe Island.

The crustacean decapod fauna of Cubagua Island in the Caribbean Sea, Venezuela, an island much affected by coastal upweling, was surveyed. A total of 178 species from 41 families were recorded, of which 56 species were new records for the island; eigth genera and six species were new records for Venezuela. Most species had previously been recorded from the the

• 59 Decapoda (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico, with Comments on the Amphionidacea Darryl L. Felder, Fernando Álvarez, Joseph W. Goy, and Rafael Lemaitre The decapod crustaceans are primarily marine in terms of abundance and diversity, although they include a variety of well-known freshwater and even some semiterrestrial forms. Some species move between marine and freshwater environments, and large populations thrive in oligohaline estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico (GMx). Yet the group also ranges in abundance onto continental shelves, slopes, and even the deepest basin loors in this and other ocean environments. Especially diverse are the decapod crustacean assemblages of tropical shallow waters, including those of seagrass beds, shell or rubble substrates, and hard substrates such as coral reefs. They may live burrowed within varied substrates, wander over the surfaces, or live in some special association with diverse bottom features and host biota. Yet others specialize in exploiting the water column itself. Commonly known as the shrimps, hermit crabs, mole crabs, porcelain crabs, squat lobsters, mud shrimps, lobsters, crayish, and true crabs, this group encompasses a number of familiar large or commercially important species, though these are markedly outnumbered by small cryptic forms. The name “deca-poda” (= 10 legs) originates from the usually conspicuously diferentiated posteriormost 5 pairs of thoracic legs that originate below the carapace. Various of these pairs may terminate in pincers (chelae) or be otherwise modiied for feeding, crushing, defense, clinging, walking, swimming, or in some cases cleaning of the gill chambers; in a few cases, the posteriormost pairs may be reduced to varied degrees or carried so as to be hidden from obvious external view. This difers from the arrange- Decapoda. After Faxon 1895. ment in the closely related order Euphausiacea, treated in a separate chapter of this volume, in which the overall body plan is otherwise also very shrimplike and all 8 pairs of thoracic legs are pretty much alike in general shape. It also difers from a peculiar arrangement in the monospeciic order Amphionidacea, in which an expanded, semimembranous carapace extends to totally enclose the comparatively small thoracic legs, but one of several features separating this group from decapods (Williamson 1973). The amphionidaceans are represented by only a single globally distributed planktonic species, Amphionides reynaudii (H. Milne Edwards, 1832), which almost certainly ranges into GMx oceanic waters, but it is not speciically recorded as such in literature of which we are aware; it is thus not treated in this volume beyond present mention. Among those decapod crustaceans commonly termed 1019 1020 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Decapoda. After A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier 1923. Decapoda. After A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier 1923. shrimps are the commercially harvested or cultured species of penaeoideans and palaemonids, as well as an abundance of less familiar but diverse groups widely distributed in planktonic, pelagic, and benthic environments from grassbeds and reefs to muddy burrows, some living as symbiotic forms. Overall, these groups constitute a tremendous biomass and are of inestimable importance in food chains and other ecological functions. Because many of the shrimps are adapted for swimming, or at least have well-developed swimmerets on their abdomens, they are sometimes called the natant decapods, alluding to their natatory adaptations. The rest of the group is sometimes pulled together loosely as the reptant decapods, alluding to the reptatory or crawling habits as exhibited by varied kinds of lobsters, crabs, and their relatives. Among these, the hermit crabs (or simply “hermits”) are commonly recognized as those crablike forms having a poorly calciied abdomen and being adapted to carrying of a gastropod (snail) shell or occupying some comparable alternative protective enclosure. Mole crabs are for the most part uniquely adapted to burrowing backwards into shallow marine sediments, keeping their antennae exposed; some of those on beaches are commonly called “sand leas.” The related porcelain crabs look very crablike and, with rare exception, live cryptically among debris and rubble in mostly shallow coastal waters. Squat lobsters are related to porcelain crabs, exhibiting something between a crablike and lobsterlike shape; most of these are outer continental shelf or deep ocean species. The mud shrimps are seldom-seen but abundant obligate burrowing specialists, ranging in distribution from intertidal estuaries to outer continental shelf sediments, many digging to a meter or more below the sediment surface and circulating water through a burrow system with their uniquely adapted abdominal swimmerets. Lobsters and crayish include deepwater marine forms resembling the familiar New England lobster as well as the speciose freshwater crayish, the latter of which are not treated further in this work (despite the slight encroachment of some into extreme upper estuaries). However, among marine forms, the term lobster is also applied to the spiny lobsters with long thorny antennae, most commonly found in shallow tropical waters (also commonly termed “crayish” in parts of their range), and to the wide-ranging marine slipper lobsters or shovel-nose lobsters, so named for their overall depressed body shape and broadly lattened spadelike antennae. Finally, the true crabs are those species in which the thorax is comparatively inlated and its cuticle thickened, while the abdomen has become reduced in relative size and tightly lexed beneath the thorax. Although some members of this group can occupy semiterrestrial and freshwater environments, or even move between these inland and coastal marine waters, most of the true crabs are marine and estuarine forms, ranging widely in size and being distributed from supratidal beaches to deep marine waters. Among them are species variously adapted for cryptic, pelagic, fossorial, or symbiotic habitats. Systematics, taxonomy, and biogeography of GMx decapod crustaceans have been addressed in a profusion of literature since the publication of Behre (1954). Even so, available and applicable literature treatments of that day were more extensive than might be suggested by Behre’s brief summary, which attempted a broadly comparative biogeographic and ecological overview but did not undertake compilation of a comprehensive checklist to actually document records and distributions for decapods of the GMx. Only northern GMx decapods were used in tabulating her account of families (26), genera (66), and species (113), and major gaps in knowledge Felder et al. ~ 1021 Decapoda. After Faxon 1895. were noted for the southeastern GMx, Yucatán, Cuba, and deep waters of the GMx in general. Supplementary information on commercial shrimps (Lindner and Anderson 1954) and spiny lobsters (Smith 1954) appeared in brief companion chapters for this classic “Bulletin 89” attempt to summarize knowledge concerning the GMx. While multitudes of new distribution records have been added and numerous new species described since that day, some mainstream monographs available prior to Behre’s (1954) account encompassed the GMx region and were richly appointed with voucher-supported records from speciic areas of the GMx. These remain critically important and useful taxonomic tools to the present, and include such remarkable compilations as the classical taxonomic summaries of selected major groups by Coutière (1909), Rathbun (1918, 1925, 1930, 1937), and Holthuis (1946, 1951, 1952), as well as a host of papers focused on smaller taxonomic units. Faunistic surveys and accompanying systematic treatments of decapod crustaceans that dealt with GMx species were on the other hand quite limited, though with some marked exceptions based upon major oceanographic surveys of earlier years (Stimpson 1871, A. Milne-Edwards 1873–1881, 1880, A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier 1893, 1897, 1902, 1909, 1923, Bouvier 1925, Burkenroad 1934, 1939, Chace 1939, 1940b, 1942a, 1942b). Records of decapods were also to some degree available within regional accounts of faunal assemblages (of varied authority) for selected coastal regions and shelf waters of the GMx (Ives 1891, Rathbun 1898, Cross and Parks 1937, Reed 1941, Behre 1950, Buitendijk 1950, Gunter 1950, Whitten, Rosene, and Hedgpeth 1950, Hedgpeth 1950, 1953). However, even in combination with the aforementioned classical taxonomic summaries, these fell far short of comprehensive coverage for GMx decapod crustaceans, and many of the regional records were not supported by properly archived specimens. Shortly following the publication of Behre (1954), a lood of valuable new reference materials became available concerning GMx decapod crustacean distributions, systematics, and ecology. Based upon original surveys, or in some cases compilation of existing records, these included such regionally focused works as Hildebrand (1954, 1955, 1958), Wass (1955), Chace, Shoemaker, and Bowman (1956), Menzel (1956), Parker (1956, 1959), Simmons (1957), Trott (1960), Tabb and Manning (1961), and Breuer (1962). However, taxonomically focused eforts of that period also added to knowledge of the GMx decapod fauna and included such works as Haig (1956), Provenzano (1959), and Holthuis (1960). Regional accounts of GMx decapod assemblages have continued to accumulate over the last 4 decades, facilitated in great part by the addition of key taxonomic literature in the mid-1960s to mid-1970s. While Williams’ (1965) general reference to Carolinian decapod crustaceans (built upon earlier eforts of Hay and Shore 1918) did not speciically encompass the GMx in its geographic coverage, it included many species that either ranged into or were then thought to be conspeciic with those in the GMx. In many instances it attempted to clarify the extent to which distributions for some Carolinian species included the GMx and provided a ready summary of literature that might be used to establish taxonomic identities of GMx species. Because of the much larger presence of tropical forms in the GMx than in the Carolinas, along with the large number of endemics (ever more in evidence today), Williams (1965) could not be applied as a deinitive reference for identiication of GMx decapod materials. However, used together with the aforementioned contributions of Burkenroad for penaeids, Holthuis for carideans, Decapoda. After A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier 1897. 1022 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Provenzano for hermits, Haig for porcellanids, and Rathbun for brachyurans—along with the older expeditionary works to deal with deepwater taxa—it provided a reasonable overview of known literature applicable to most GMx decapods at that time. Coverage remained, however, very limited for poorly known deep-sea and pelagic forms and also for the somewhat problematic GMx caridean fauna. Shortly thereater, new surveys and taxonomic summaries for deep-sea GMx decapods were brought together in a welcomed series of works based largely on deep-sea sampling by the vessel Alaminos (L. Pequegnat 1970, Pequegnat and Pequegnat 1970, W. Pequegnat 1970), these being supplemented by Pequegnat and Pequegnat (1971) and the slightly later appearance of a high-quality unpublished dissertation by Mayo (1974). Finally, this period saw the publication of Chace (1972), which provided a valuable additional reference for identiication of GMx penaeoids, stenopodideans, and carideans. While this work again was not speciically intended to encompass the GMx in its geographic coverage, it treated tropical forms that ranged extensively into Gulf waters and provided an excellent synthesis of literature relevant to systematics of these groups. The aforementioned general references remain essential to taxonomy of GMx decapod crustaceans at this writing, with that by Williams having been updated (Williams 1984b) and to some extent supplemented (Nizenski 2003). However, the literature that today applies is extremely widespread and diverse, with only the most essential elements of it having been cited in the course of producing this checklist. Among such references, taxonomic keys, reports on faunistic surveys, and summaries for selected regions of the GMx continue to be of value, provided the user is aware of recent systematic revisions and additions to the fauna, this being especially true for the more dated works. Among these are a host of papers varying in intent and scope, each being restricted either by the taxonomic group to which it applies, region of the GMx to which it is targeted, or habitat / assemblage that it encompasses (for example, Lyons 1970, Bifar 1971, Felder 1973, Heard 1982, Huf and Cobb 1979, Dardeau and Heard 1983, Dardeau 1984, Abele and Kim 1986, Raz-Guzman and Sanchez 1996, Strasser and Price 1999, Briones-Forzán, Lozano-Álvarez, and Monroy-Velázquez 2005, Galicia-Castillo and Hernández-Aguilera 2005, Goy 2005, Gracia and Hernández-Aguilera 2005, McClure 2005, Rodríguez-Almaraz and Zavala-Flores 2005, and Wicksten 2005b, c). While a full accounting of all nomenclatural changes bearing on GMx decapod crustacean taxonomy is well beyond the scope of this chapter, works by Martin and Davis (2001) and McLaughlin et al. (2005) incorporate at least the more recent and signiicant of these systematic revisions. It is especially important to consult these works for further understanding of revisions at generic and higher levels of taxonomy. To the extent possible, revisionary works are also herein oten listed as references or mentioned in endnotes for the relevant species, and a search of these should provide insight to the fates of missing but once familiar names. In some cases, recently proposed revisions may not have been accepted for purposes of the present checklist, or may have been accepted only in part, this decision being based either upon synthesis of all evidence available to the present authors or in the interest of caution until such time as additional evidence can be brought to bear. Such is, for example, the case with some revisions of callianassid taxa proposed by Sakai (1999), as well as higher level reclassiications of the brachyurans proposed by Števčić (2005). Where generic assignments by the latter author provided plausible family assignments for formerly Decapoda. After A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier 1893. Decapoda. After A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier 1893. Felder et al. ~ 1023 Decapoda. After Faxon 1895. orphaned xanthoid genera (i.e., those treated as “incertae sedis” by McLaughlin et al. 2005), they were provisionally adopted; however, no attempt was made to overall conform to all of the family reassignments that Števčić (2005) proposed for many other brachyuran genera. While the number of papers dealing with revisions of single species or genera is too excessive to review here, several bodies of work do touch rather broadly on recent taxonomy and systematics of selected GMx decapods, either making a number of revisions or summarizing recent ones. Among the more recent of these papers, one may wish to consult Pérez-Farfante and Kensley (1997) regarding penaeoid shrimps; Holthuis (1991) and Galil (2000b) regarding polychelid lobsters; Boyko (2002) regarding albuneid and related mole crabs; McLaughlin (2003) regarding hermit crabs; Manning and Felder (1991), Poore (1994, 1997), Williams (1993), collected works of Kensley (1994, 1996a, 1996b, 1996c, 1996d), and Kensley and Heard (1990, 1991) regarding thalassinidean shrimps; works of Guinot (1995) and those with coauthors (Guinot and Richer de Forges 1995, Guinot and Tavares 2003) regarding dromiioid crabs; Ng and Rodríguez (1986) regarding parthenopid crabs; Wagner (1990) regarding mithracid crabs; Kropp and Manning (1987) regarding chryptochirid crabs; and Schubart, Cuesta, and Felder (2002) regarding selected groups of grapsoid crabs. While primarily earlier than those cited previously, many of the herein cited works of Guinot (1964, 1967a, 1967b, 1968a, 1968b, 1969a, 1969b, 1969c, 1969d, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1984, 1990, 1995) generally apply extensively to revisions of the xanthoid crabs, the higher groupings for most of these being summarized in Guinot (1978). The known decapod crustacean fauna of the entire GMx is herewith for the irst time compiled and enumerated (see taxon summary). To our knowledge, only Powers (1977) has previously attempted to comprehensively list and quantify GMx species for any major component of the GMx decapod fauna, with that efort being restricted to the brachyuran crabs. Obviously, our count is made with an admitted level of error, as we are aware of species yet to be described, questionable reports yet to be substantiated, and regions or habitats yet to be thoroughly surveyed. We are well aware that cryptic infaunal habitats of the GMx, both shallow and deep, appear to hold especially large numbers of additional species, many undescribed. Coastal ocean warming could also be at present fostering range extensions of additional Caribbean and Antillean species into the GMx, while introductions of nonindigenous forms also add species, even if the latter might have negative efects on the group’s diversity in the long term. No presently clear cases of extinctions are in evidence to suggest counter-efects that might ofset anticipated additions to GMx decapod counts, though the potential must be acknowledged in light of increasing urbanization and other perturbations to coastal GMx environments that in some cases constitute the sole refugia of narrowly distributed endemic GMx species. Clearly, there are a number of species cited in this checklist on the basis of only a single, original report, and their continued presence as “rare” forms can only be assumed. The accuracy of our counts could also be questioned because formal systematic descriptions and revisions are obviously lagging behind available evidence from molecular genetic and other comparative analyses, in some cases giving us no alternative but to use a dated nomenclature. Finally, we must acknowledge that both our geographical deinition of the GMx and the limits we imposed on habitats to be included have impacted our species counts. In the latter case, counts of taxa could be enhanced easily by inclusion of additional anchialine, terrestrial, and freshwater species that are known to occur in immediate proximity of coastal and marine habitats, Decapoda. After A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier 1902. 1024 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Decapoda. After A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier 1909. Decapoda. After A. Milne-Edwards and Bouvier 1923. especially in coastal Cuba and Mexico; these were for the present treatment not included, unless we found clear documentation of their occurrence in upper estuarine environments. The preceding caveats registered, we herewith report that a total of 1007 species of decapod crustaceans are presently known to occur within our deinition of GMx waters. These represent 103 families and 411 genera by currently accepted taxonomy (see taxon summary). As no allowances or corrections are made in these numbers for unnamed or yet-to-be-discovered forms, these counts are underestimates of actual, current GMx decapod crustacean biodiversity. Of the species listed, 67 were found to potentially represent species endemic to the GMx, although several others that were not counted as possible endemics are known to range only slightly beyond our GMx limits in the Florida Keys. This suggests that overall endemism among GMx decapod species may approach 7%, although it is not distributed uniformly across constituent groups. Particularly high rates of endemism appear to occur among the burrowing thalassinidean mud shrimp, commensal pinnotheroid crabs, ocypodoid iddler crabs, deepwater cyclodorippoid crabs, deepwater bresilioid shrimp, and palaemonoid shrimp, the latter of which includes commensally adapted forms. However, some of the aforementioned groups are notoriously diicult to sample or challenging to deal with taxonomically, and further work may reveal they are more widely distributed than at pesent. By the same token, additional sampling in diicult to access habitats may as easily reveal other new species that must be, at least for a time, registered as potentially endemic. Six of the species listed are based upon records of nonindigenous species, with human activities apparently accounting for these introductions to GMx from remote natural ranges. In addition, the grapsoid crab Platychirograpsus spectabilis (De Man, 1896) was most likely introduced into upper Tampa Bay tidal streams from its natural range in Mexico (Schubart, Cuesta, and Felder 2002). Because this represents the apparent transplant of an endemic GMx species from one site to another within the GMx, it was not included in the count of nonindigenous species. The sequence of coverage in the checklist that follows conforms, with few exceptions, to McLaughlin et al. (2005) and Martin and Davis (2001). In general, the GMx limits, deined in the introduction to this volume, were rigidly observed in determining whether or not to include a given species. Where any exception to or questionable interpretation of these limits was required, a question mark (?) was added to the tabulated distributional information, along with an explanatory endnote added for that entry. Similarly, endnotes were sometimes used to explain the exclusion of a closely related species, justify a taxonomic decision or document the inclusion of a previously unpublished record based upon an observation, credible web-based report, or archived museum specimen. Abbreviations Some records were based upon cataloged museum specimens, either exclusively or in addition to published literature records. The catalog numbers appear in the endnotes, along with preix abbreviations for the respective museums or collections, as follows: GCRL = Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, Ocean Springs, Mississippi; MESC = Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium, Dauphin Island, Alabama; TCWC = Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas (these numbers are the same as those that may have been formerly reported under the abbreviation TAMU); ULLZ = University of Louisiana at Lafayette Zoological Collections, Lafayette, Louisiana; UMML = University of Miami Marine Laboratory, Miami, Florida; USNM = National Felder et al. ~ 1025 Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Three-letter and 4-letter symbols were used in the “Habitat-Biology” column of the checklist, generalizing from published literature and other cited records. The symbols used in this way were as follows: act = in actinian enclosures; ben = benthic; bns = bay and nearshore; bplg = benthopelagic; bry = in bryozoan enclosures; bsl = beach and shoreline; bur = burrower; cfw = coastal freshwater; com = commercially important in GMx; dps = deep sea; end = endemic to GMx on basis of present records; epi = epibiotic; est = estuarine; eur = euryhaline; evg = emergent vegetation; hcv = cold brine hydrological seep or hydrocarbon vent; hsb = hard substrates; inf = infaunal; itd = intertidal; i / spt = intertidal to supratidal; msp = mangrove swamp; nid = nonindigenous to GMx; ocs = outer continental shelf; osp = oceanic surface and epipelagic; plg = pelagic; plk = planktonic; rbl = loose rubble or coral fragments; rck = in rock enclosures; rt = rater on lotsom; st = sot substrates (mud, sands, clays); sgr = seagrass; shl= molluscan and other shells or shell hash; slp = slope; spl = intertidal splash and spray zone; spo = in sponge enclosures; spt = supratidal; svg = sea grasses and other submerged vegetation; sym = symbiotic; unk = unknown; veg = associated with aquatic vegetation; zoa = in zoanthid enclosures. For depths or depth ranges, all of which were given in meters, a combination of the cited literature sources and endnote records (if applicable) were used. Generally, the largest range implied by this combination was stated, unless there was clear reason to question any of the previous reports. This may have here resulted in some depth ranges that exceed actual depth distributions, especially for pelagic species in cases where some older reports were not based upon collections with gear that opened and closed at known discrete depths. Where depth was not evident in records, the indication “unk” was occasionally shown in this column; in other cases, where depth or one extreme of depth range was simply noted to encompass shallow waters in available records, the indication “shallow” was sometimes used in place of a numeric range. In all cases, depths and depth ranges were shown in italic typeface when based upon overall records for the species (including GMx endemics), but were shown in roman typeface if based solely upon GMx records for a species that was known to range more widely. Cataloged specimens listed in endnotes included a statement of collection depth only when relevant to establishing the stated depth range in the checklist. To summarize overall geographic distributions, the following symbols were used: Afr = Africa; Ala = Alabama, U.S.; Am = America; Antil = Antilles; Arg = Argentina; As I = Ascension Island; Atl = Atlantic Ocean; B = Bay; Bah = Bahamas; Barb = Barbados; Ber = Bermuda; Bk = Bank or Banks; Brz = Brazil; C = Central; Cal = California, U.S.; Camp = Campeche, Mexico; Carib = Caribbean Sea; Ch = Channel; Chesa = Chesapeake; Col = Colombia; Conn = Connecticut; CRica = Costa Rica; Curaç = Curaçao; Del = Delaware, U.S.; Dom = Dominica; E = east or eastern; FGui = French Guiana; Fla = Florida, U.S.; G = Gulf; Ga = Georgia, U.S.; Gal = Galapagos; GMx = Gulf of Mexico; Greenl = Greenland; Guy = Guyana; Hai = Hawaii; Hond = Honduras; I = Island or Islands; Icel = Iceland; Ind = Indian Ocean; Indo-Pac = Indo-Paciic region; Jam = Jamaica; Lk = Lake; L = Lesser; La = Louisiana, U.S.; Mass = Massachusetts, U.S.; Md = Maryland, U.S.; Med = Mediterranean Sea; Ms = Mississippi, U.S.; Mx = Mexico; N = north or northern; NBrun = New Brunswick; NCar = North Carolina, U.S.; NE = northeastern; Nic = Nicaragua; NJer = New Jersey, U.S.; NY = New York, U.S.; nS Am = northern South America; NScotia = Nova Scotia; NW = northwestern; Pac = Paciic Ocean; Pan = Panama; PRico = Puerto Rico; PEd = Prince Edward; QRoo = Quintana Roo; RI = Rhode Island, U.S.; S = south or southern; SrgS = Sargasso Sea; SCar = South Carolina, U.S.; SE = southeastern; Str = Strait or Straits; SuluS = Sulu Sea; Sur = Suriname; SW = southwestern; Tab = Tabasco, Mexico; Tams = Tamaulipas, Mexico; TasS = Tasmin Sea; Tobg = Tobago; Trin = Trinidad; Tx = Texas, U.S.; Urg = Uruguay; US = United States of America; Ven = Venezuela; Ver = Veracruz, Mexico; Vir = Virginia; Vrg I = Virgin Islands; W = west or western; Yuc = Yucatán, Mexico. To summarize GMx ranges for species in the checklist, the following symbols were used in accord with their deinitions in the GMx map in the Introduction to this volume (chapter 1, ig. 1): ene = east northeast; nne = north northeast; nnw = north northwest; wnw = west northwest; wsw = west southwest; ssw = south southwest; sse = south southeast; and ese = east southeast. Where the available GMx range information was less reined and diicult to interpret with precision, or where both sections of a given quadrant were known to be included in the range, the following symbols were used in accord with limits as deined in the GMx map of the Introduction: ne = northeast; nw = northwest; sw = southwest; and se = southeast. The indication “entire” was used only when there were clear records and summary reports that a given species was in fact distributed throughout all of the above-deined sec- 1026 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) tions of the GMx. Previously published reports that may have simply listed the “Gulf of Mexico” as part of the overall distribution were not used indiscriminately in compiling range information from some recently published syntheses, especially those including species that may range on a limited basis into the GMx. For example, the impressive recent compendia on decapods of Brazil (Melo 1996, 1999)—while quite detailed in stating ranges for South America—may state or graphically depict ranges of widely distributed species encompassing the entire GMx, when actual documentation of occurrence there is instead very limited or peripheral (by the same token, our statements of overall distributions to “Brz ” should certainly not be interpreted to imply ranges that necessarily encompass all of that very expansive coastline). Such generally stated ranges within the GMx were rarely adopted, unless there was no obvious alternative. Rather, more speciic literature and specimen-based records for the GMx were sought, and these were listed among the cited references and endnotes of the last table column. References included in this column also in some cases served to address systematic and taxonomic issues, add information related to habitat and biology, or clarify overall depth and geographic distributions.

Crosnier. As noted by Roberts and Pequegnat (1970), a complex of forms may be represented by B. brasiliensis, and recognition of B. cereus among these may prove diicult; while Pérez-Farfante and Kensley (1997) limited the distribution of B. cereus to the Bahamas and New Zealand, it is included in the present list on the basis of a subsequent report from the southwestern GMx by Wicksten and Packard (2005). 2 3 Records include ULLZ 6700 from about 500 m deep of St. Petersburg, Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. Natural range is eastern Paciic, with other occurrences as escaped animals from aquacultural operations, but not established as reproductive populations (McLaughlin et al. 2005: appendix 4, table 1). 4 Records include ULLZ 6784 from rubble bottom near hard banks of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; previously listed questionably from the East Flower Garden banks by Wicksten (2005a). 5 6 Records include ULLZ 7543 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Natural range is Indo-Paciic, with other occurrences as escaped animals from aquacultural operations; no evidence of established reproductive populations (http://nas.er.usgs.gov/ queries/FactSheet.asp?speciesID=1209). 7 8 The spelling “Rymapenaeus” in Gracia and Hernandez-Aguilera (2005) is in error. 9 The spelling “Rymapenaeus” in Gracia and Hernandez-Aguilera (2005) is in error. 10 Records include ULLZ 7871 from of Louisiana, ID by D.

W. Goy; also ULLZ 7491 and 7496 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include RMNH D41304, from Grenada, ID by J. W. Goy; the collection site for this species in the Upper Florida Keys lies almost on the border of our limits in the southeastern extreme of the east northeastern GMx, and the record is thus included for that sector. 13 14 Records include UMML 5458, from Discovery Bay, Jamaica, ID by J. W. Goy. Records include GCRL I62:562, from south of Grand Isle, Louisiana, ID by J. W. Goy; GCRL I68:857, from east of South Pass, Louisiana, ID J. W.

Goy; GMx populations appear to be widely disjunct from those of the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, despite their morphological similarity; treatment of these populations as conspeciics is provisional, pending the outcome of comparative genetic studies currently in progress. 15 16 Records include TCWC 2-8231 from of Tamaulipas, ID by M. K. Wicksten. 17 Records include ULLZ 6464 from 95 m deep of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 18 Records include TCWC 2-3154 from <2 m in Tampa Bay, Florida, ID by L. H. Pequegnat. 19 Records include TCWC 2-3154 from of Alabama, ID by M. K. Wicksten. Early distribution records appear under the apparent synonym, Acanthephyra haeckelii (von Martens), though Chace (1986) raises some question as to whether these two names apply to the same species; irst reported from the GMx by Williams and Wigley (1977), who reviewed overall distribution records of this wideranging species. 20 21 Chace (1986) excluded earlier putative records of this species from the Paciic Ocean. (continued ) 1090 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) 22 While largely a freshwater species, this species ranges into upper estuaries; in addition to records of Villalobos (1960), specimens have been found among samples of estuarine decapods in seine samples from near the mouth of the Rio Grande river in extreme south Texas (returned to sender), ID by D. L. Felder. 23 Mention of D. serrifer from the eastern GMx by Boothe and Heard (1987: 513) was apparently in error, their comments there applying more appropriately to the present species. 24 Maximum depth is reported as in http://www.gsmfc.org /seamap/picture_guide /Shrimp/eugonatonotus%20crassus.pdf Records include ULLZ 7414 from 50–55 m on the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; literature reports are from immediately east of our east northeastern GMx limits in the northern Florida Keys. 25 26 Records include TCWC 2-6695 and 2-6957 from the northeastern GMx, ID by L. H. Pequegnat, and 2-8306 from southwestern GMx, ID by M. K. Wicksten. 27 Records include ULLZ 7454 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 28 Records include ULLZ 2843 from Looe Key, Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. 29 Records include ULLZ 3683 from South Padre Island, Texas, ID by D. L. Felder. There remains some question as to the status of this species, and its possible synonymy with L. tenuicornis, as concluded by Holthuis (1952), but subsequent workers have retained the separation (Chace 1972, Ramos-Porto and Coelho 1998). 30 Hernández-Aguilera, Toral Almazán, and Ruiz Nuño (1996), identiied a small lot of Macrobrachium from the Port of Veracruz, possibly Boca del Río, as Macrobrachium af jelskii; Wicksten (2005b) reported the same sample to be “provisionally identiied” as M. jelskii, making reference to the former study; neither paper ofered any further description of the organisms identiied as M. jelskii, though Wicksten (2005b) ofered recognition characters modiied from Holthuis (1952), who based them on material mainly from Suriname and Venezuela; given the great morphological variation shown by M. acanthurus, uncertainties about the identity of the speciic sample in question, and the absence of other records or vouchers of this species in one of the better studied coastal areas of Mexico, we deem this report to be too questionable for inclusion of the species in our present checklist; we also note that several additional species of this genus, other than those listed here, may occur in at least upper coastal estuaries of Mexico and Cuba, given their likely migratory habits over the course of reproduction and development. 31 Recent records of this nonindigenous species likely represent escapes from aquaculture operations, as per reports reviewed at http://nas.er.usgs.gov / queries/ references /ReferenceViewer.asp?refnum=15760 32 Pending the availability of materials for irsthand study, this record is included with some reservation; S. De Grave has noted (personal communication) that it is a purely freshwater form where typically found in Guyanas and Venezuela, and its distribution there is very disjunct from the GMx. 33 34 Records include ULLZ 6449 from near border of north northeastern and north northwestern GMx, on Sackett Bank, just west of Mississippi River, ID by D. L. Felder. 35 Records include ULLZ 7384 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. While no published records exist from outside the GMx, recently collected specimens from the Caribbean coast of Panama appear to be morphologically very near this species (S. De Grave, personal communication). 36 37 Occurrence at Dry Tortugas, Florida, remains based upon a tentative identiication (Chace 1972). Broad inclusion of the GMx in the range of this species, as illustrated by Fransen (2002, ig. 90), does not appear justiied by records summarized in the same paper; occurrence in the lower Florida Keys, and just outside deined limits of the GMx in Cuba and Quintana Roo, Mexico, is, however, well established. 38 39 As noted by Fransen (2002: 9) this species is known from only the type material, which is lost and may in fact represent a species of Periclimenaeus. The collection site for this species lies almost on the border of our limits in the southeastern extreme of the east northeastern GMx, and the record is thus included for that sector. 40 41 Unconirmed reports also suggest range may include southwestern GMx (see Wicksten 2005b: 83). 42 Records include USNM 214967 listed from of South Carolina, ID conirmed by R. Lemaitre. Records include USNM 220997 listed from of Georgia, ID conirmed by R. Lemaitre; speciic locations in Florida are unclear, possibly include both southwestern Florida and Keys; records from Cuba are from western extreme, apparently just outside our GMx limits. 43 44 The collection site for this species lies almost on the border of our limits in the southeastern extreme of the east northeastern GMx, and the record is thus included for that sector. 45 Records include ULLZ 7283 from 36–46 m on the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Published records for this species are to the immediate east of our limits in the southeastern extreme of the east northeastern GMx, but records include ULLZ 6511 and 8393 from the ene and nnw GMx, respectively. 46 Records include ULLZ 2762–2765 from Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy; Williams (1988a) provisionally assigns materials from of North Carolina and eastern Florida to this species, which likely represents a complex of species in the western Atlantic. 47 48 Records include ULLZ 1704 from of Campeche, ID by D. L. Felder, and ULLZ 2761 from Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy. 49 Records include ULLZ 1180 from south Texas, ID by D. L. Felder, and ULLZ 2766–2767 from the Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy. 50 In accord with Chace (1972), we exclude Paciic records from the range of this species, even though not all subsequent authors (for example, Kim and Abele 1988, Manning and Chace 1990) have done so; Paciic populations appear to be measurably diverged from those of the western Atlantic (Williams et al. 2001). 51 Included in treatment of alpheids from eastern Mexico by McClure (2005), but without reference to any apparent record from those waters. Records include USNM 170064 from the Atlantic coast of Florida, ID by R. H. Gore; Paciic populations appear to be measurably diverged from those of the western Atlantic (Williams et al. 2001); the type is Atlantic in origin, so Paciic records of this species are herein noted to be questionable in the overall distribution, pending systematic revisions. 52 Felder et al. ~ 1091 Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) Records include ULLZ 3560 from the Atlantic coast of Florida, ID by D. L. Felder; morphological variants of this taxa from the GMx and elsewhere in the Atlantic, as discussed by Chace (1972) and others, are currently under study and almost certainly represent more than one species; records of variants include ULLZ 6460 from 122 m deep of Louisiana; materials treated under A. loridanus from the eastern Paciic (see Kim and Abele 1988, Williams et al. 2001) now appear to represent one or more undescribed taxon currently under study; Paciic records are thus not included in the overall distribution for this species. 53 54 The spelling “formosis” of McClure (2005) is in error. 55 Records include ULLZ 7231 and 7449 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. First report of this species from Florida, attributed to Abele and Kim (1986) by McLaughlin et al. (2005), was predated by the work of Gore, Scotto, and Becker (1978) on Florida Atlantic coast; Paciic populations appear to be measurably diverged from those of the western Atlantic (Williams et al. 2001); the type is almost certainly Atlantic in origin, so Paciic records of this species are herein noted to be questionable in the overall distribution, pending systematic revisions. 56 57 This species has been widely reported throughout the western Atlantic, including the GMx, under the name A. normanni Kingsley, 1878 (oten with the erroneous spelling “A. normani”); however, Kim and Abele (1988) restricted application of that name to Paciic specimens, the type of which was Paciic in origin; we thus resurrect use of A. packardii Kingsley, 1880, which was based upon type materials from Key West, for at least the GMx records; an additional unnamed species also appears to occur in, at minimum, the Caribbean region of the western Atlantic (Williams et al. 2001). 58 The type of this species originates from the eastern Atlantic; at least some Paciic populations appear to closely approximate genetically those from the western Atlantic and Cape Verde Islands, supporting the concept that at least these are pantropical (Williams et al. 2001). 59 Records include ULLZ 2838–2840 from the Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy; records were referred to as Thunor rathbunae (Schmitt, 1924) or Thunor simus prior to synonymy of that genus with Alpheus (see Holthuis 1980, 1993); T. rathbunae was determined to be a junior subjective synonym of T. simus by Holthuis (1980), but both species were in error listed as reassigned to Alpheus by McLaughlin et al. (2005). 60 Formerly treated under Alpheus cylindricus Kingsley, 1878, but the type of A. cylindricus is Paciic in origin and Paciic populations appear to be measurably diverged from those of the western Atlantic (Williams et al. 2001); thus, GMx and other western Atlantic records of A. cylindricus are treated under Alpheus vanderbilti Boone, 1930, a species originally described from Key West but long regarded as a junior synonym of A. cylindricus; records include ULLZ 7233 and 7291 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 61 Records include USNM 170094 from the Atlantic coast of Florida, ID by R. H. Gore. Regardless of whether A. ridleyi (originally described from Brazil) and A. websteri remain synonyms ater further study, they are recognized as such for the present work, and records are thus merged; the latter name is at the very least the most likely taxon under which GMx materials should be recognized, especially given that the type originated from the Florida Keys; however, inclusion of eastern Paciic materials under this taxon (for example, Wicksten and Hendrickx 1985) must now be questioned, especially since putative conspeciic Paciic populations examined by genetic methods appear to be measurably diverged from those of the western Atlantic (Williams et al. 2001). 62 Hernández-Aguilera, Toral Almazán, and Ruiz Nuño (1996), Álvarez et al. (1999), and McClure (2005) included A. gardineri in compilations for Mexican waters, but, as also noted by McLaughlin et al. (2005), Chace (1988) placed this species into synonymy with A. dolichognatha; records under these two names are merged for the present entry, but remain imprecisely stated for Florida and thus leave some question as to possible occurrence in the northeastern GMx. 63 64 Records from southern Florida are imprecise as given by Abele and Kim (1986), and are the basis of questionable occurrence in east northeastern GMx; eastern GMx waters are also the probable origin of USNM 237607, from 15 m, ID by R. Lemaitre; records include USNM 221792 from Aruba, ID by R. Lemaitre. While this species has not been found commonly in the northwestern GMx, despite an abundance of host thalassinideans there, R. W. Heard has apparently taken specimens in the region of Grande Isle, Louisiana, near the eastern extreme of the north northwestern GMx (Jackson 1996); although listed from Brazil (Christofersen 1998), that record more likely applies to the subsequently described Leptalpheus axianassae Dworschak and Coelho, 1999. 65 66 Records include listing from Florida Keys in http://www.knms.nos.noaa.gov/ sanctuary_resources/specieslist.pdf, ID by D. L. Felder. 67 Records include ULLZ 2793–2798 from Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy. 68 As noted by Dardeau (1984: 25), Christofersen (1979) considered this species to be a junior synonym of S. brooksi; Christofersen (1998) continues to treat them as such, along with S. herricki, but acknowledges that Brazilian records for S. brooksi may represent a mix of these species; Dardeau (1984: 63) also noted that specimens reported from the northwestern GMx as S. tanneri by Pequegnat and Ray (1974) and Ray (1974) have subsequently proven to be S. bousieldi; a recent note in McLaughlin et al. (2005) mentioning “unpublished records” of S. tanneri in the Texas A&M University systematic collections most likely also refers to the misidentiied materials of S. bousieldi. 69 Records include ULLZ 2801–2804 from Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy, and ULLZ 1662 from northwest Florida, ID by R. Gaude. 70 Records include ULLZ 2805 from Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy. 71 Records include ULLZ 2803–2813 from the Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy. 72 Chace (1972) mentions materials from the Bahamas that are questionably assigned to this species. Records include ULLZ 2815–2817 from the Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy; as we do not concur with Christofersen’s (1979) treatment of S. pandionis as a junior synonym of this species, we do not include records from the Isla Lobos, Mexico, under the present species. 73 74 Records include ULLZ 2818, 2819 from the Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy. 75 We apply this species name provisionally, as Dardeau (1984: 94) notes that identiications of materials from the GMx remain somewhat uncertain. 76 Listing is included as report from the upper Florida Keys is from immediately east of our east northeastern GMx limits (Gore 1981). 77 Report of this species from the northeastern GMx is included in Dardeau (1984: table 11), with additional records provided in Dardeau (1986). (continued ) 1092 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) Records include ULLZ 2824–2835 from the Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy, and USNM 241498 from of southwestern Florida, ID by P. A. McLaughlin. 78 79 For Jamaican record, see http://www.tamug.edu / cavebiology/fauna/shrimp/B_cubensis.html; found in coastal anchialine caves. 80 Records include ULLZ 3411 from of Isles Dernieres, Louisiana, ID by W. W. Forman. 81 Records include ULLZ 1195 from Aransas Bay, Texas, ID by D. L. Felder. 82 Records include USNM 127776 from Florida Keys, ID by F. A. Chace Jr. We include a question mark (?) because Wicksten (2005c: 116) questions literature records of this species from the GMx, concluding that this taxon does not range south of North Carolina and surmising that at least some reports of it from the GMx were based upon misidentiications of H. zostericola; both Tabb and Manning (1961) and Rouse (1970) report this species from southwestern Florida, the latter author speciically noting the basis for its distinction from H. zostericola; Chace (1972) notes that the two species may ultimately prove to be synonymous. 83 84 Records include ULLZ 3419 from Panama City, Florida, and ULLZ 1193 from Campeche, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. At least some previous reports of L. wurdemanni in the eastern GMx are instead assignable to this species; the known range of this recently described GMx species extends all the way to eastern GMx boundaries of our coverage, leading us to questionably list it as a GMx endemic. 85 86 Despite report of an overall range that includes the eastern Paciic in Wicksten (2005c), eastern Paciic materials are not assignable to this species, as noted in Wicksten (2000); also, earlier eastern Atlantic records from the Azores are now known to represent another species. 87 Records from the south southwestern GMx predate recent revisions by Rhyne and Lin (2006), and thus may require veriication. 88 Occurrence in the Azores and Madeira has also been conirmed (S. De Grave, personal communication). 89 As noted by Wicksten (2005c) previous reports of this species from the eastern Paciic are attributable to another species. Records include USNM 154774 from Panama City, Florida, ID by R. B. Manning, and ULLZ 7445 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 90 Records include USNM 239817 from of southwestern Florida, ID by P. A. McLaughlin and ULLZ 7446 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; while Wicksten (2005c: 112) does not include T. serratum from Mexican waters, she mentions other GMx occurrences that are included in the presently reported range. 91 92 While not included among records for Mexican waters by Wicksten (2005c), records listed by Criales (1992) include USNM 23308 from the south southeastern GMx on the Yucatán shelf; records also include ULLZ 7273 and 7425 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 93 Several of the included records were reported under the now junior synonym, O. limicola. 94 Records include ULLZ 1277 from Grand Terre Island, Louisiana, and ULLZ 4868 from Dangriga, Belize, ID by D. L. Felder. 95 Records include ULLZ 2847 from Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy. 96 Records include ULLZ 7441 from the Campeche Banks of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. 97 Records include ULLZ 2849 from Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder and J. W. Goy. 98 Records include USNM 140067 from the Bahamas, ID by R. B. Manning. Depth range within the GMx is based upon records for specimens in TCWC from the northeastern GMx (M. K. Wicksten, personal communication); records include USNM 252423 from 293 m in the U.S. Virgin Islands, ID by B. Kensley. 99 100 Records for this species were reported under Parapandalus longicaudata (Rathbun, 1902) prior to generic reassignment and correction of the publication date (see McLaughlin et al. 2005); the northwestern GMx is included questionably in the GMx range, as specimens depicted in archived photographs at Texas A&M University appear to show this species on the West Flower Garden Banks (M. K. Wicksten, personal communication); it was previously listed as a tentative identiication from of South Texas by Flint and Rabalais (1980). 101 In error listed under both this genus and Philocheras in McLaughlin et al. (2005). 102 Records include TCWC 2-6964 from 516–527 m and 2-6965 from 1170–1236 m in the northwestern GMx, ID by L. H. Pequegnat. 103 Collection data and ID for the single specimen known from the Mississippi Canyon in northern GMx were provided by M. K. Wicksten. 104 See also Joseph Poupin: Tropical reef lobsters of the genus Enoplometopus: Descriptions, Illustrations, Identiication, and Information Retrieval, using the DELTA format. Version: 30 May 2002, http://biomar.free.fr /enoplometopus /; records include ULLZ 2965 from of Palm Beach, Florida, ID by D. L. Felder, and sighting of an individual on reef of Looe Key, Florida, by D. L. Felder, basis for inclusion in GMx list. Scope of this family was restricted in revisions by Manning and Felder (1991); some of the subsequent revisions at varied taxonomic levels for this family proposed by Sakai (1999, 2005) are not supported by recent and ongoing phylogenetic analyses, and are thus not here incorporated; this concurs with conclusions reached by Tudge, Poore, and Lematire (2000). 105 106 We do not adopt assignment of this species by Sakai (1999, 2005) to Callianassa, the diagnosis of which was restricted by Manning and Felder (1991). 107 We do not adopt assignment of this species by Sakai (1999, 2005) to Callianassa, the diagnosis of which was restricted by Manning and Felder (1991). 108 As presently treated, this species encompasses two genetically distinct, apparently allopatric populations, both endemic to the GMx; their distributions break in the Chenier plain region of the northwestern GMx (Staton and Felder 1995, Bilodeau, Felder, and Neigel 2005). 109 As noted by Staton and Felder (1995) and varied references cited, specimens from Brazil and the Caribbean are excluded in a restricted deinition of this species range, while GMx populations are also known to be genetically distinct from those occurring from North Carolina to Florida, and may deserve recognition as a unique taxon. Felder et al. ~ 1093 Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) 110 We are aware of no present records to document Sakai’s (2005) report of this species in the northeastern GMx, an apparent misinterpretation of records from the northwestern GMx; we do not adopt assignment of this species by Sakai (1999, 2005) to Callianassa, the diagnosis of which was restricted by Manning and Felder (1991). Records include ULLZ 5954 from Looe Key, Florida, ID by D. L. Felder; while Sakai (1999, 2005) has in this case made some reasonable arguments for reassignment of this species to Glypturus, we continue to recognize Corallianassa in accord with indings of Tudge, Poore, and Lematire (2000) and pending outcomes of ongoing molecular analyses. 111 112 We do not adopt assignment of this species by Sakai (1999, 2005) to Callianassa, the diagnosis of which was restricted by Manning and Felder (1991); variable morphology of specimens from the GMx and other western Atlantic localities suggests a complex of species is represented by this taxon; records from northeastern GMx include ULLZ 4500 from Tampa Bay, Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. Marked variations in morphology and habitat have long suggested that one or more unnamed species were to be found under this taxon in the western Atlantic; while Sakai (2005) has taken the step of simply applying a name to one previously illustrated from the northwestern GMx, he undertook no comparative study of available regional materials to determine character variations or distributions; more importantly, he did not designate a holotype for this new species, making the name “Glypturus rabalaisae” invalid under ICZN rules (P. C. Dworschak, personal communication, publication in press); from studies of materials reported by Heard and Reames (1979) and Rabalais, Holt, and Flint (1981), we conclude that those records are likely assignable to the same species that Sakai (2005) attempted to name; those reported from the south southeastern GMx remain somewhat in question, but are for now treated herein under the more tropically distributed G. acanthochirus. 113 114 Sakai (2005) simply applied this name on the basis of distinctions in GMx populations reported by previous authors, but without apparent examination of GMx materials, designation of a holotype, or providing a complete synonymy; provisionally accepted for the present work, it is also applied to materials previously reported by Heard and Reames (1979). 115 Paciic records of this species remain in question, possibly referring to a separate, yet to be described, cognate species. The proposal by Sakai (2005) to synonymize N. raymanningi (from Venezuela) with this species (which he in error treated under the name N. rathbunae), is deemed inadequately justiied; no voucher specimens are available to document the maximum depth distribution of 40 m, reported by Suchanek (1985). 116 117 Because of paraphyly among species presently assigned to the genus Sergio (see Tudge, Poore, and Lematire 2000), there is reason to question continued recognition of this genus; while Sakai (1999, 2005) reassigns all members of Sergio to Neocallichirus, the group appears to represent more than one clade. We thus defer generic reassignment until ongoing molecular genetic studies can be completed. Sakai (1999, 2005) would also relegate Neocallichirus mericeae to junior synonymy with its southern counterpart, Neocallichirus guassutinga, but we cannot agree in the absence of convincing comparative studies. Records include ULLZ 4819 and 4820 from the northwestern Florida Panhandle, ID by D. L. Felder; as noted previously, we do not now adopt Sakai’s (1999, 2005) reassignment of this species from the paraphyletic genus Sergio (see Tudge, Poore, and Lematire 2000) to Neocallichirus, but rather await the outcome of ongoing genetic analyses. 118 While movement of the Callianopsinae Manning and Felder, 1991 (encompassing this species) into the newly deined Gourretiidae Sakai, 1991, is with some reservation adopted, the placement of this species in the genus Callianopsis by Sakai (2005: 228) is not; in the latter instance, Sakai also reversed that decision by note added in proof (Sakai 2005: 245); records include ULLZ 7305 and 7306 from the Campeche Banks of the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 119 120 Type locality falls approximately on the eastern limits for the GMx, and species is thus included. Records include ULLZ 6660 from 66–69 m deep of Dry Tortugas in E GMx and 6757 from 51–56 m on the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 121 122 Records include ULLZ 5725 from the northwestern GMx of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. We provisionally treat this species in Acanthaxius, as done by Sakai and de Saint Laurent (1989); however, Kensley (1996d) noted ainities of this species to Oxyrhynchaxius Parisi, 1917, an observation with which we concur; records include ULLZ 1474 from northwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 123 This species was the second member of the genus to be reported from the GMx; it was the fourth to be reported from the Atlantic Ocean, not the second, as indicated by Felder and Kensley (2004). 124 125 Common occupant of cavities in hard substrates and rubble; records include ULLZ 4622 and 5955 from the East Flower Garden Banks and adjacent areas of the northwestern GMx, ULLZ 6851 and 6853 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, and ULLZ 6066 and 6067 from the southeastern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; also USNM 243434 from the southeastern GMx, ID by B. Kensley. 126 Records from GMx include USNM 1014172 from the southeastern GMx, ID by B. Kensley. Florida Keys records include specimens USNM 266267 and 266268, provisionally assigned to this taxon by B. Kensley; specimens from of Yucatan, Mexico, include USNM 243526 and 243528, conirmed by B. Kensley, from immediately south of our deined GMx limits. 127 128 Species is included tentatively, as records are from immediately east of deined GMx limits in the Florida Straits. Species is included tentatively, as records are from immediately east of deined GMx limits in the Florida Straits; formerly treated under the genus Scyllarus, this species was assigned to a new genus by Holthuis (2002). 129 130 Records include ULLZ 1377 from Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder. 131 Records include USNM 1001168 from of Louisiana, ID by L. H. Pequegnat and W. E. Pequegnat. Listed in error by Pequegnat and Pequegnat (1970), Pequegnat et al. (1971), and Wicksten and Packard (2005) under the genus Gastroptychus; record from South Carolina is based on USNM 169202, ID by A. B. Williams. 132 (continued ) 1094 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) Records include USNM 1001605 from of northwestern Florida, and 1000802 from of Louisiana, ID by L. H. and W. E. Pequegnat; also USNM 98660 from east southeastern GMx, 99704 from north northwestern GMx, ID by F. A. Chace Jr.; listed in error by Pequegnat and Pequegnat (1970), Pequegnat et al. (1971), and Wicksten and Packard (2005) under the genus Gastroptychus. 133 Chace (1942a), and Pequegnat and Pequegnat (1970) report a “Typical form” and a “Variety B” of this species; records include USNM 29167 from of Georgia, ID by J. E. Benedict, and USNM 136679 from the Florida Straits, ID by L. B. Holthuis. 134 135 Records include USNM 152482 from 549 m deep of Puerto Rico, ID by M. de Saint Laurent. 136 Reported by various authors as Munida longipes, which Baba and de Saint Laurent (1996) transferred to the genus Agononida. 137 Records include USNM 241075 from 159 m deep of southwestern Florida, ID by P. A. McLaughlin. Records include USNM 7772 from 42 m between Jamaica and Haiti, ID by J. E. Benedict, and USNM 82237 from 165 m to 914 m deep just north of the Virgin Islands, ID by W. L. Schmitt. 138 139 Records include USNM 1001166 from of Louisiana, ID by L. H. Pequegnat, and USNM 101341 from 549 m deep of southeast Florida, ID by F. A. Chace Jr. Records include USNM 82234 from 914 m in the Virgin Islands, ID by W. L. Schmitt, and USNM 1000800 from of Texas, ID by L. H. Pequegnat; Munida sculpta Benedict, 1902, reported from GMx by Pequegnat and Pequegnat (1970) and Soto (1980), has been shown by Melo-Filho and Melo (2001a, 2001b) to be a junior synonym of M. irrasa. 140 Records include USNM 136646 from the Florida Straits, ID by L. B. Holthuis, and USNM 171563 from the Bahamas, ID by F. A. Chace Jr.; many literature reports of this diicult-to-distinguish species appear to be in error, as reviewed by Melo-Filho and Melo (2001a, 2001b), and distribution thus remains somewhat in question. 141 Records include USNM 225823 from 18 m deep of South Carolina, ID by M. Dojiri, and USNM 241252 from 159 m deep of southwestern Florida, ID by P. A. McLaughlin. 142 143 Records include USNM 100947 from 329 m deep of Fort Pierce, Florida, ID by F. A. Chace Jr., USNM 106098 from Bermuda, ID by F. A. Chace Jr., and USNM 136654 from the Florida Straits, immediately east of GMx limits, ID by L. B. Holthuis. 144 Records include USNM 241260 from of southwestern Florida, ID by P. A. McLaughlin, USNM 155624 from Florida Straits, and USNM 101346 from 59 m deep of Jacksonville, Florida, ID by F. A. Chace Jr., and a specimen referred to by Sterrer (1986) from 90 m deep of Castle Roads, Bermuda, archived by Bermuda Biological Station, ID by F. A. Chace Jr. Records include USNM 241258, 274646 from of southwestern Florida, ID by P. A. McLaughlin; report of Munida spinosa from south southwestern GMx (Soto et al. 2000: 392) most likely also refers to M. spinifrons, as M. spinosa is instead distributed in the Magellanic region of South America (Henderson 1888, Gutt et al. 1999). 145 146 Records include USNM 101659 from the Florida Straits, immediately east of GMx limits, ID by L. B. Holthuis. 147 Williams (1984b) notes the occasional pelagic occurrence of ovigerous females at very shallow depths overlying deep waters. 148 Records include USNM 251463 taken from of Louisiana in 1985, ID by L. H. Pequegnat; M. sundi, irst reported from the west northwestern GMx by Pequegnat and Pequegnat (1971: 22, footnote), was determined to be a junior synonym of this species by Gore (1983); records of the two species have been merged. 149 Records include USNM 216279 from the western Florida Escarpment, ID by A. B. Williams; record fromTasman Sea is based on Baba (2005). Mayo (1974) indicated that the correct spelling is M. erinaceus, not “M. erinacea” as reported by various authors; records include USNM 1001157 and 1001165 from of Louisiana, ID by L. H. Pequegnat and W. E. Pequegnat, and USNM 169557 from the northeastern edge of the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by B. S. Mayo. 150 151 Records include USNM 268733 from 732 m deep of Belize, ID appears to be by A. B. Williams. Ambler (1980) considered M. geyeri a junior synomyn of M. subsquamosa Henderson, 1885. However, Gore (1983) disagreed and considered the two taxa as valid species and tentatively suggested that the distribution of M. geyeri, or a very close unnamed analog, includes eastern Paciic waters. Adopting Gore’s conclusions, reports of M. subsquamosa from the Virgin Islands by Williams and Turner (1986) and the GMx by Wicksten and Packard (2005) thus pertain to M. geyeri. Records include USNM 310877 from Florida Escarpment, ID by M. K. Wicksten. 152 153 Pequegnat and Pequegnat (1971) misidentiied the type locality of this species as the southwestern GMx, rather than the northwestern GMx as reported in the original description and indicated on tag information with the holotype. 154 The westernmost collection locality from the Florida Straits just of the north coast of Cuba (see Pequegnat and Pequegnat 1971) is positioned almost directly on the border marking our GMx eastern limits. 155 Authorship of this species, commonly credited to A. Milne-Edwards, was corrected to Perrier by Macpherson and Segonzac (2005). The shallow depth of 44 m for a collection from of Yucatán was noted by Schmitt (1935), but could not be conirmed by Mayo (1974); the shallow extreme of this bathymetric range may more likely fall near 400 m, as found by Mayo (1974). 156 157 Records include USNM 98154 from 2103–2195 m depth from north northeastern GMx, ID by F. A. Chace Jr., and USNM 150580 from 3475–3968 m in St. Croix Basin, Virgin Islands, ID by B. L. Shuler Mayo. The westernmost collection locality reported from the Florida Straits by Mayo (1974) is positioned almost directly on the border marking our GMx eastern limits. 158 159 Records include USNM 35357 from 4708 m deep of North Carolina, ID by M. J. Rathbun. Records include ULLZ 8023 from a benthic skimmer sample that encompassed 610-850 m depths (shallower than previously reported bathymetric ranges), just west of the Mississippi River Delta, ID by D. L. Felder. 160 161 Records include USNM 251461 from 543 m deep of Louisiana, ID by L. H. Pequegnat. Felder et al. ~ 1095 Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) The westernmost collection locality reported from the Florida Straits by Mayo (1974) is positioned almost directly on the border marking our GMx eastern limits; as noted by Mayo (1974) the atypically shallow depths (200–10 m) sometimes reported for this species have been of Norway and the Azores; depth minima exceed 500 m in collections from the western Atlantic; reported by Wicksten and Packard (2005) as Munidopsis bahamensis Benedict, 1902, and Pequegnat and Pequegnat (1970) as Mundiopsis tridentata (Esmark, 1857), both of which are considered by Mayo (1974) as a junior synonyms of M. serricornis. 162 163 Records include USNM 21309 from of Cape St. Roque, Brazil, ID by J. E. Benedict. Records include USNM 1000757 and 1001158, from of Louisiana, ID by L. H. Pequegnat, and USNM 268741 from 402 m deep in north northwestern GMx (27°53′30″N, 90°58′W), ID conirmed by R. Lemaitre. 164 165 Records include USNM 141354 from Trinidad, ID by H. B. Roberts. Melo (1999) included the eastern Paciic in the distribution of Megalobrachium soriatum, but Haig (1960) and subsequent authors (reviewed by Rodríguez, Hernández, and Felder 2005) conluded that the species does not occur in that region. 166 Records include USNM 141355 from of Trinidad, ID by H. B. Roberts; record from “Florida” in Abele and Kim (1986) is imprecise as to location and may not be from Florida Keys as herein treated. 167 168 Records include USNM 225864 from 34 m deep of South Carolina, ID by M. Dojiri. 169 According to Haig (1956), Pisosoma glabra Kingsley, 1880, is a junior synonym of Pachycheles riisei (Stimpson, 1859). Records include ULLZ 4825 and ULLZ 5825 from the Florida Keys; also ULLZ 6726, 7017, and 7105 from 49–54 m on the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 170 171 Records include USNM 141361 from Trinidad and Tobago, ID by H. B. Roberts. Records include USNM 186442 from 110 m deep of eastern Florida, ID by E. L. Wenner; as reviewed by Rodríguez, Hernández, and Felder (2005), recent workers consider Porcellana stimpsoni A. Milne-Edwards, 1880, a junior synonym of P. sayana (Leach, 1820). 172 173 Prior to its description by Boyko (2002), most reports of this species in the GMx appeared under A. paretii, with which it was long confused. 174 Most reports of this species in the GMx prior to publication of Boyko (2002) actually referred to materials now recognized as A. catherinae. Boyko (2002) concurred with previous assumptions that Schmitt’s (in Gordon 1938) record of this species from Pensacola, Florida, was questionable and most likely represented L. benedicti. 175 176 Records include ULLZ 7565 from the Campeche Banks of the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. As noted by Felder (1973), characters distinguishing this species from E. benedicti are very subtle, leading to early distribution reports that were likely confused between this species and E. benedicti; the issue was further addressed by Eford (1976), who could conirm a GMx record for E. portoricensis, primarily an Antillean island species, only in the vicinity of Pensacola, Florida. 177 178 Despite the absence of speciic records from the northwestern GMx in Eford (1976), numerous collections from Louisiana include ULLZ 754 from Grand Terre and ULLZ 1992 from Cameron, ID conirmed by D. L. Felder. Reported by Schmitt (1935) and Abele and Kim (1986) as Hippa cubensis; records include USNM 11332 and 46042 from Florida Keys, ID by J. E. Benedict and M. J. Rathbun, respectively, and USNM 267844 from Havana, ID by A. C. Cohen. 179 How far north along the coast of western Florida (northeastern GMx) this species is found is uncertain; it ranges into southern coastal extemes of the northwestern GMx in Tamaulipas, as reported by Rodríguez-Almaraz and Zavala-Flores (2005), but has not thus far been found in south Texas. 180 181 Records include ULLZ 2089 from of Sanibel Island, Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. 182 Reported from “southern Florida,” likely within herein-deined boundaries for GMx. 183 Records include ULLZ 4683 from the Indian River Lagoon of eastern Florida, Fort Pierce, ID by D. L. Felder. Forest and de Saint Laurent (1968) considered Clibanarius cubensis (de Saussure, 1858), a name used by many authors such as Provenzano (1959), Abele and Kim (1986), and Rodríguez-Almaraz and Zavala-Flores (2005), to be a junior synonym of C. sclopetarius; records include ULLZ 6459 from Punta Delgada, northern Veracurz, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder; among several specimens from the Indian River Lagoon region of eastern Florida, records include ULLZ 4657 from Fort Pierce Inlet, ID by D. L. Felder, and USNM 276097 from Sebastian Inlet, ID by R. A. Gulledge. 184 185 Records include ULLZ 4682 from the Indian River Lagoon region of eastern Florida, Fort Pierce Inlet, ID by D. L. Felder. Among many previously unreported specimens from the northeastern GMx, records include ULLZ 1942 and 2240, ID by D. L. Felder, and USNM 274853, ID by T. Czapla. 186 187 Reported as Dardanus arrosor insignis by Forest and de Saint Laurent (1968). Records include USNM 2653876 from Anna Maria Island in the northeastern GMx, ID by K. M. Davis Strasser; there is reason to question previous reports of I. wurdemanni from Venezuela (Mantelatto et al. 2006), their possibly being confused with a southern congener, I. sawayai; all other conirmed records are from the GMx, which suggests that this species may be restricted in distribution to those waters; usually found in shallow water to about 4 m, although it has been reported from 187.5 m in the south southwestern GMx by Hernández-Aguilera, Toral Almazán, and Ruiz Nuño (1996). 188 189 Records include ULLZ 4739 from Campeche, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. 190 Records include ULLZ 6728 and 7022 from about 49–52 m deep of the northern coast of Yucatán, ID by D. L. Felder. Reported by Abele and Kim (1986) from “southern Florida,” possibly within herein deined boundaries for GMx; records include USNM 267541 from the north northeastern GMx, tentatively identiied to be nearest this species by L. Sandberg. 191 (continued ) 1096 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) Records include USNM 1017853 from east southeastern GMx, ID by P. A. McLaughlin, and USNM 220778 from the Atlantic coast near the Georgia/ Florida border, ID by unknown authority. 192 193 McLaughlin and Provenzano (1974b) mention that range includes “western” coast of Florida, but no speciic records are given, and none can currently be found; westernmost speciic localities fall approximately on our eastern limits for the GMx; records include USNM 143898 from Venezuela, ID by P. A. McLaughlin and A. J. Provenzano Jr. 194 Records include ULLZ 7536 from 20 m on the Campeche Banks of the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. The actual locality for the single record of this species from the GMx is uncertain; McLaughlin and Provenzano (1974b) report an apparently erroneous latitude or longitude far west of the Florida shelf, in waters far deeper than the reported 234 m. 195 196 Flint and Rabalais (1980) tentatively report materials from of south Texas as this species. 197 It should be noted that the spelling “oxyophtalmus” by Rodríguez-Almaraz and Zavala-Flores (2005) is in error. Provenzano and Rice (1966) considered Paguristes tenuirostris Benedict, 1901, a junior synonym of P. sericeus; records include ULLZ 2188 from the north northwestern GMx of Texas, and ULLZ 2186 from the north northeastern GMx of northwestern Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. 198 199 Known only from the type locality, which lies roughly on our eastern limits for the GMx. Reports of this species from within the GMx are questionable in some cases, especially those predating such major revisionary works as McLaughlin and Provenzano (1974a, 1974b); at least one closely related but undescribed species is known to occur in the GMx, as mentioned by Strasser and Price (1999) and represented extensively in ULLZ collections. 200 Records include ULLZ 2177 from of Sanibel Is., Florida, ULLZ 991 from of Mississippi, ULLZ 4549 and 4705 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; also USNM 1016120 from of southwestern Florida, ID by P. A. McLaughlin, and USNM 267688 from of Texas, ID by unknown authority; one of us (DLF) has noted that some specimens from the northeastern and northwestern GMx are not readily separable from the southern counterpart, P. triangulatus, a species known with certainty only in waters of the Lesser Antilles to Brazil (see Forest and de Saint Laurent 1968). 201 202 Reported by Wass (1955) and Provenzano (1959) as Petrochirus bahamensis. 203 Rahayu (2005) transferred Paguristes hewatti to the genus Stratiotes; records include ULLZ 6074 from of Tamaulipas, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. 204 Rahayu (2005) transferred Paguristes hummi to the genus Stratiotes; records include ULLZ 4784 from Fort Pierce Inlet on the Atlantic coast of Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. 205 Records include USNM 92440 from southeast of the Mississippi Delta, ID by F. A. Chace Jr. 206 Records include USNM 269032 from of South Carolina, ID by R. B. Manning. 207 Records include ULLZ 3846 from Sackett Bank of Louisiana, just east of northwestern GMx limits, ID by D. L. Felder. Reported as Pagurus pygmaeus by Provenzano (1959); part of the material reported by Williams (1984) is Pagurus brevidactylus (see Lemaitre, McLaughlin, and García-Gomez 1982). 208 209 GMx records include USNM 265205 from of Alabama, ID by R. Lemaitre, USNM 265256 from of Louisiana, ID by P. A. McLaughlin; and TCWC 2-3516, 2-3519, 2-0730 from west northwestern, west southwestern, and south southwestern GMx respectively, ID by P. A. McLaughlin or R. W. Firth. Reported as Hemipagurus gracilis by Asakura (2001); records include USNM 102590 and 102714, ID by R. Lemaitre, and USNM 102715, ID by M. L. Wass, all from various sites of the Florida Keys. 210 211 Reported as Pagurus piercei by Wass (1963), Williams (1984b), and Abele and Kim (1986). 212 Records include ULLZ 3845 and 4729 from hard banks of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. Reported as Pylopagurus corallinus by Felder (1973) and Soto (1980), and as Manucomplanus corallinus by Williams (1984b) and Abele and Kim (1986); records include USNM 9577 and 9593 from the Campeche Banks of the north coast of Yucatán, ID by J. E. Benedict. 213 Specimens are from immediately east of our east northeastern GMx limits (Gore 1981) and from of Louisiana in the north northwestern GMx, tentatively ID by D. L. Felder (cited in Baker et al. 1981); whether the GMx specimens do in fact represent N. fagei, described and known previously from only Brazil, remains to be conirmed. 214 Lemaitre, McLaughlin, and García-Gomez (1982) excluded the GMx from the distribution of P. annulipes and concluded that previous reports of that species, such as that by Wass (1955) from Alligator Harbor, Florida, were confused with P. gymnodactylus Lemaitre, 1982; however, several recent faunistic studies (Strasser and Price 1999, Raz-Guzman et al. 2004, Wicksten 2005a, Rodríguez-Almaraz and Zavala-Flores 2005) have reported P. annulipes from various regions of the GMx. 215 216 Reported by Provenzano (1959) as Pagurus miamensis. Records include USNM 92322, 99711, and 222974 from northeastern GMx, USNM 1027041 from north northwestern GMx, USNM 97465 from south southwestern GMx, and USNM 99710 and 102489 from southeastern GMx, ID by F. A. Chace Jr., M. L. Wass, R. Lemaitre, or P. A. McLaughlin; also USNM 270175 from the Straits of Florida and 270036 from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, ID by R. Lemaitre, and USNM 267509 from northern Brazil, ID by P. A. McLaughlin. 217 218 Records include USNM 276715 from of southwestern Florida, ID by T. Czapla. 219 Reported by Wass (1955) as Pagurus loridanus, junior synonym. Records include USNM 259393 from of southwestern Florida, ID by R.Lemaitre; also USNM 265248 from of northwestern Florida and USNM 265254 from of Louisiana, ID by P. A. McLaughlin. 220 221 Reported by Wass (1963) and Williams (1984b) as Pagurus hendersoni, a junior synonym. Felder et al. ~ 1097 Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) 222 Reported by Provenzano (1959) as Pagurus operculatus; records include uncataloged photographic voucher from of St. Lucie Inlet, Florida, collected June 1979, and ULLZ 9877 and 9939 from Looe Key, Florida, and ID by D. L. Felder. 223 Records include, among numerous individuals taken on hard banks in GMx, ULLZ 4551 from of Louisiana; also 7020, 7032, and 7071 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 224 Records include ULLZ 6727 from 49–54 m deep of northern Yucatán, ID by D. L. Felder. 225 McLaughlin and Lemaitre (2001: 456) indicated the depth range as “11–433, perhaps as great as 1020 m.” 226 Records include USNM 1011679 from of Marathon, Florida Keys, ID by R. Lemaitre. Records listed for GMx by McLaughlin (1981b: table 1) are all for northeastern GMx; northwestern GMx record appears in error under heading for Caribbean Sea records in same table. 227 Reported by Wass (1963) as Cestopagurus lineatus; records include USNM 1020588 from of west coast of Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre, USNM 267605 from of Tabasco, Mexico, and USNM 102600 from of Dry Tortugas, ID by R. Lemaitre. 228 229 Reported by Wass (1963) as Benthopagurus schmitti. 230 The broad distribution shown in the GMx illustrated by Melo (1999) is in error. 231 Reported by Lemaitre (1989) as Sympagurus bicristatus. 232 Reported by Lemaitre (1989) as Sympagurus gracilis; records include TCWC 2-8548 from 570 m in northwestern GMx, ID by R. Lemaitre. 233 Reported by Lemaitre (1989) as Sympagurus pilimanus. Records include USNM 275962 from 567 m deep of Goulding’s Cay, New Providence, Bahamas, ID by R. Lemaitre, and USNM 103395 of Texas in west northwestern GMx, ID by M. L. Wass. 234 235 One reported collection site (Forest 1987a, 1987b) appears to be in immediate vicinity of our south southeastern limits to GMx. 236 Records include ULLZ 1727 from of western Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. 237 Records include ULLZ 4456 from Heald Bank, northwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 238 Records include ULLZ 1911 and 1927 from of Sanibel Island and ULLZ 2111 from of northwestern Florida panhandle, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 1732, 1733, and 2116 from of western Florida, ID by D. L. Felder; record of H. barbata from northwestern GMx (Wicksten 2005a) is also interpreted to represent this species. 239 240 Records include ULLZ 6445 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 1735 from of western Florida, ID by D. L. Felder; Castro, Williams, and Cooper (2003) question validity of this species, treating it instead as a junior synonym of the widely distributed L. elegans Roux, 1830, which it very closely resembles in all but minor features; comparative molecular studies are expected to clarify its status. 241 242 Records include ULLZ 6787 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 243 Records include ULLZ 6761 and 6816 from the Campeche Banks in southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 244 Depth range for this species almost certainly extends to at least 300 m; deeper records are questionable, as noted by Goeke (1980). 245 Records include ULLZ 1975, 6854, and 6768 from rubble banks of the northeastern, northwestern, and southwestern GMx, respectively, ID by D. L. Felder. 246 Records include ULLZ 1915 and 2130 from of southwestern Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. 247 Records include ULLZ 2087 and 2090 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 248 Records include ULLZ 6789 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 249 Records include ULLZ 2081 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 250 Gore (1983: 213) discusses the possibility that the distribution of this species includes the eastern Paciic and Indo-Paciic Oceans. Records include ULLZ 4790 and 5795 from hard banks of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; a specimen has also been photographed on Stetson Bank of Texas (M. K. Wicksten, personal communication). 251 252 Records include USNM 274755 from of southwestern Florida, ID by T. Czapla. 253 Records include ULLZ 6786 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 254 Records include USNM 294654 from of southwestern Florida, ID conirmed by R. Lemaitre. 255 Records include USNM 236967 and 273300 from of southwestern Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre, and ULLZ 4679 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 256 Records include ULLZ 7117 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include USNM 155083 from northwestern GMx, ID by C. A. Child, and ULLZ 6806 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 257 258 Records include ULLZ 7311 from the Campeche Banks of the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 1910, 2065, 2066, and 8555 from of western to northwestern Florida, and 7115 from the Campeche Banks of the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 259 Records include ULLZ 2003, ID by D. L. Felder, and USNM 242932 and 242932, ID by R. Lemaitre, all from of western Florida; also ULLZ 7336 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 260 261 Records include ULLZ 7356 from of Louisiana and ULLZ 7069 and 7567 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. (continued ) 1098 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) 262 Records include listing from Florida Keys in http:// www.knms.nos.noaa.gov/sanctuary_resources/specieslist.pdf, ID by D. L. Felder. 263 Records include USNM 242940 and 242941, ID by R. Lemaitre. 264 Extreme depth range for this species is questionable; most commonly taken from 90–330 m (see also comments by Williams 1984b). 265 Records include USNM 271033 and 271453 from of western Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre. 266 Records include ULLZ 4223 from Carrie Bow Cay, Belize, ID by D. L. Felder. 267 Former records of this species in Brazil are now ascribed to another species (Melo 1996, 1998b). 268 The form “elongata” is also encompassed in these records for this morphologically variable species or species complex (see Powers 1977). The holotype was collected in “Florida” by A. S. Packard, possibly from the Florida Keys within our deined limits of the GMx; records now include ULLZ 6799, 7123, 7124, and 7523 from algae-covered rubble in 20–30 m on the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder and A. Windsor. 269 270 Previous reports from Brazil (see Powers 1977) are not accepted by Melo (1996). Records include USNM 272445 from of western Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre; also ULLZ 2629 from of western Florida, ULLZ 4730 from the northwestern GMx, and ULLZ 7258 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 271 Records include USNM 211893 from of western Florida, ID conirmed by R. Lemaitre and TCWC 2-6189 from of Louisiana, ID conirmed by D. L. Felder; Colombian record is posted at http://www.invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htm 272 273 274 275 Records include ULLZ 7550 from the Campeche Banks in southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Colombian record is posted at http://www.invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htm Records include ULLZ 1726 from of western Florida, ID by D. L.

Felder. 277 Records include ULLZ 7556 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include USNM 274666 and 274667 from of western Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre, and USNM 187077 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; Colombian record is posted at http://www.invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htmch59 Checklist ed.rtf 278 279 Whereas range was previously reported to include Brazil, those records are now attributed to another species (see Melo 1996). Records include ULLZ 4714 from of the northwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; additional specimens from the same region are problematic, exhibiting character states intermediate between P. riisei and P. algicola. 280 281 Goeke (1989) describes two forms or ecomorphs within this species that occur on somewhat diferent substrates, especially within the GMx. Depth range of this species likely extends to well beyond the maximum indicated here and conirmed by Goeke (1989); as per comments by Soto (1986), it likely extends to at least 1490 m. 282 283 Records include USNM 258876 from of western Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre. 284 Records include ULLZ 7526 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 285 Records include ULLZ 7126 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder, and USNM 155636 from Venezuela, ID by F. A. Chace Jr. The range of Collodes inermis A. Milne-Edwards, 1878, shown to include the GMx by Melo (1996) is also in error; the distribution of this species was corrected in Melo (1998b), as no records of this species can be found for the GMx (G. de Melo, personal communication, October 2005). 286 287 Records include USNM 186917 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 6508 from 205 m deep of Alabama, ID by D. L. Felder, and photo from unspeciied northern GMx location as appears at http://www .gsmfc.org / seamap/picture_guide/ crustaceans.htm 288 Colombian record is posted at http:// www.invemar.org.co/ marco_sibm.htm; records include ULLZ 7549 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 289 290 Records include ULLZ 6762 from 51–65 m deep on the Campeche Banks in southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 291 Both Williams (1984b) and Soto (1986) discuss diiculties in separating apparently sympatric subspecies of this taxon. Records include ULLZ 2628 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; a second specimen now conirms distribution northward to at least South Carolina, USNM 188713, ID by E. L. Wenner. 292 293 Colombian record is posted at http:// www.invemar.org.co/ marco_sibm.htm 294 Records include USNM 284185 from northeastern GMx, ID by O. Griin. Records include report from Florida Keys posted at http://www.nbi.noaa.gov / products/reports / 1997%20Fl.%20Keys%20Dry%20Tortugas%20Report.pdf, and USNM 270545 from of southwestern Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre. 295 296 Records include ULLZ 1748 collected by the R/V Oregon II from the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 297 Records include ULLZ 4619 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 298 Records include ULLZ 4719 from 60 m deep of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include USNM 236988 from of western Florida, ID by R.

Records include USNM 229835 from of western Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre, ULLZ 7000 and 7552 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder, and USNM 220811 from of North Carolina, ID by P. Krikorian; Colombian record is posted at http://www.invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htm 301 Felder et al. ~ 1099 Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) 302 No attempt is made to segregate records for the 2 to 3 varieties commonly noted to comprise this species (see Rathbun 1925, Powers 1977). 303 Records include listing from Florida Keys in http:// www.knms.nos.noaa.gov/sanctuary_resources/specieslist.pdf, ID by D. L. Felder. 304 Records include those previously reported for Mithrax caribbaeus, M. pleuracanthus, and M. tortugae, all of which were designated junior synonyms of M. hispidus by Wagner (1990); we adopt these revisions provisionally, pending their conirmation by ongoing molecular plylogenetic analyses; records include USNM 241200 from of western Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre. 305 Records include ULLZ 6888, 7061, and 7513 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 306 Records include TCWC 2-2233 from Isla Lobos, southwestern GMx, ID by J. P. Ray. 307 Provisional report for the north northwestern GMx is based solely upon a photograph taken from 24 m, ID by M. K Wicksten. While we adopt many of the synonymies suggested by Wagner (1990), we defer on treatment of Nemausa acuticornis as a junior synonym of N. cornutus, pending more thorough comparative study. 308 309 Records include ULLZ 4609 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. No attempt was made to segregate records for the 2 commonly recognized subspecies, S. furcatus furcatus and S. furcatus coelatus; however, most GMx reports appear assignable to the latter of these 2 (see Rathbun 1925, Powers 1977, Nizinski 2003); depth may rarely range to over 500 m (Williams 1984b). 310 311 Records include USNM 1004435 from of Louisiana, ID by W. E. Pequegnat. 312 Records include ULLZ 0798 from of Louisiana, ID by D. R. Clark. 313 Records include ULLZ 6435 from sponges on an oil platform of Louisiana and ULLZ 4887 from Stetson Bank, ID by D. L. Felder. 314 Records include USNM 184067 from Belize, ID by F. A. Chace Jr. 315 Records include ULLZ 1318 from of Bay Marchand, Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 316 Manning and Holthuis (1981) conclude that both previous reports of this species from West Africa, and its subsequent correction to L. erinacea, are in error. 317 Validity of this species remains very much in question, as per discussions by several authors (Tabb and Manning 1961, Rouse 1970, Powers 1977). Records include ULLZ 4865 from among macroalgae near anchor of Bouy 1 on East Flower Garden Bank of Louisiana, also ULLZ 6660 and 6823 from depths to 61 m on a calcareous algae bank west of Dry Tortugas, ID by D. L. Felder; these appear to be the only records of the species from the GMx subsequent to the intial report from Campeche Bay, the type locality; in accord with Melo (1996) the subgenus Microlissa Pretzmann, 1961, is treated at full generic rank. 318 319 Species remains known only from the type locality, which was generally stated as the Florida Straits, and may or may not have been within limits presently deined for the GMx. 320 Records include ULLZ 6068 from of Tamaulipas, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 7058 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx and a listing from Florida Keys at http://www.knms.nos.noaa.gov / sanctuary_resources/specieslist.pdf, both ID by D. L. Felder. 321 322 Records include listing from Florida Keys in http:// www.knms.nos.noaa.gov/sanctuary_resources/specieslist.pdf, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include TCWC 2-3530 from the northwestern GMx, ID by M. K. Wicksten; also ULLZ 7001 and 7045 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx and ULLZ 7568 from Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 323 Records include ULLZ 7128 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; Colombian record is posted at http:// www.invemar.org .co/ marco_sibm.htm 324 Records include ULLZ 7129 and 7554 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; Colombian record is posted at http://www .invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htm 325 326 Records include ULLZ 7776 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 327 Records include ULLZ 4727 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; elevation of the former subgenus Platylambrus is in accord with Ng and Rodríguez (1986). 328 Records include ULLZ 1856 from of Texas, ID by D. L. Felder; elevation of the former subgenus Platylambrus is in accord with Ng and Rodríguez (1986). Colombian record is posted at http:// www.invemar.org.co/ marco_sibm.htm; records from GMx include ULLZ 0675 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; elevation of the former subgenus Platylambrus is in accord with Ng and Rodríguez (1986). 329 330 Elevation of the former subgenus Platylambrus is in accord with Ng and Rodríguez (1986). As discussed by Gore and Scotto (1979), the description of this species, listed here as questionable (“?”), is possibly based upon an immature specimen of S. typicus; records include ULLZ 6795 from 30 m on the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, tentatively assigned to this species by D. L. Felder. 331 332 Records include ULLZ 7551 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 333 Records include USNM 1014162 from of Louisiana, ID by W. E. Pequegnat, and USNM 290255 from of Colombia, ID by A. Bermudez. Records include USNM 1001128 from the north northwestern GMx of Louisiana, ID by L. H. Pequegnat; records from Pequegnat et al. (1983) predate revisionary studies and could represent mixed collections of the 2 GMx congeners. 334 335 Records include ULLZ 1667, collected by the Oregon II from northeast of Yucatán, ID by D. L. Felder. Occurrences in GMx and north of Cuba are occasional, uncommon (see Williams 1984b); unlike in some recent accounts (http://nas.er.usgs.gov / queries/ references /ReferenceViewer.asp?refnum=14256), we do not regard GMx occurrences as nonindigenous. 336 337 Records include ULLZ 7005 from the southern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; western Atlantic records of this rapidly dispersing nonindigenous species now also include ULLZ 6455, irst report from Belize, ID by D. L. Felder, and USNM 251489 from South Carolina, ID by R. Lemaitre. (continued ) 1100 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) 338 Records include USNM 242921 from of southwestern Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre, and USNM 189918 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 4640 from hard banks of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder, and TCWC 2-2239, 2-2240, and 2-2241 from Isla Lobos, southwestern GMx, ID by J. P. Ray, conirmed by D. L. Felder. 339 340 Records include USNM 152580 from of Guyana, ID by P. Shield, and USNM 189026 from of Colombia, ID conirmed by R. Lemaitre. Records include USNM 274893–274894 from of southwestern Florida, ID by T. Czapl, and USNM 168087 from Suriname, ID by A. B. Williams; Colombian record is posted at http://www.invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htm 341 342 Records include USNM 180528–180530 from of Tampa Bay, Florida, ID by A. B. Williams. Records include USNM 274729 from of southwestern Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre, and ULLZ 4695 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; a report from of Tampico (Villalobos-Hiriart, Hernández-Aguilera, and Hernández 1981) remains in question, as it was not repeated in subsequent review of cataloged materials from the region by Hernández-Aguilera, Toral Almazón, and Ruiz Nuño (1996). 343 344 Records include USNM 168297 from Colombia, ID by R. Dowds. 345 Habitat notes in Melo (1998b) appear to be in error, restricting this deepwater species instead to shallow estuarine waters. Work in press by F. L. Mantelatto, R. Robles, and D. L. Felder (Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society) argues for treatment of Portunus vossi Lemaitre, 1992, as a junior synonym of this species. 346 While early reports from of Texas have been questioned (see Powers 1977), southwestern GMx records include TCWC 2-2236, 2-2237, and 2-2238 from Isla Lobos, ID by J. P. Ray, conirmed by D. L. Felder; also ULLZ 6442 from near Laguna La Mancha, Veracruz, ID by D. L. Felder. 347 348 Work currently in press by Mantelatto et al. raises questions as to the validity of this species (F. A. Mantelatto, personal communication). 349 Records include USNM 1000574–1000577 among many from of Louisiana, ID by W. E. Pequegnat and L. H. Pequegnat. 350 Records include ULLZ 1717 from the lower Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder. 351 Records include ULLZ 6441 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. GMx distributions for this species reported by Pequegnat et al. (1971) were subsequently determined to represent a new species, C. chacei, by Felder and Rabalais (1986); Colombian record is posted at http://www.invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htm 352 353 Records include ULLZ 7346 from the Campeche Banks of the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Records do not deinitively establish range into the GMx; collections from of the north coast of Cuba reported by Chace (1940b) came from immediately east of GMx limits adopted in present work (Chace 1940a), but species was listed by Powers (1977). 354 355 Martínez-Guzmán and Hernández-Aguilera (1993) list a specimen that did not conform to typical characters of this species from Alacran Reef, in the south southeastern GMx; records now include ULLZ 7070 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 1307 and USNM 186986 from of Louisiana and ULLZ 7068 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, tentative ID by D. L. Felder; small, immature specimens closely resemble juveniles of F. hirsuta and Sotoplax robertsi, and some records of these species in the GMx are thus questionable. 356 357 Records include ULLZ 2246 from of the Texas/ Louisiana border; small individuals are very diicult to distinguish from F. barbata, and some records of these species may be confused; Colombian record is posted at http://www.invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htm Records do not deinitively establish range into the GMx; reported by Chace (1940b) from of northern Cuba, but collection stations (Chace 1940a) are all from slightly east of herein deined GMx limits. 358 Števčić (2005) established a new genus, Perunorhombila, to accommodate Pilumnoplax nitida, described by Chace (1940b) from of northern Cuba and included by Powers (1977); collection stations (Chace 1940a) are all from slightly east of our deined GMx limits. 359 360 While Števčić (2005) proposed a new genus, Henryalphonsia, to accommodate some materials previously assigned to Pilumnoplax elata, this does not apply to the GMx materials of A. Milne-Edwards (1880). 361 Records include TCWC 2-8088 from East Flower Garden banks and ULLZ 6436, from south Texas continental shelf, ID by D. L. Felder. Records in Rathbun (1918) for Prionoplax atlantica, a synonym, also apply to this species (see Powers 1977); records include ULLZ 6743 and 7347 from 28–57 m on the Campeche Banks in southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 362 363 Early reports from Louisiana were subsequently shown to be based upon the later-described M. adina by Williams and Felder (1986). 364 Records include ULLZ 2460 from east southeastern GMx of Yucatán, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. 365 Records from south Florida west of the Florida Keys are reportedly assignable instead to D. texana (see Abele 1972, Powers 1977). 366 Records include ULLZ 4039 from Rio Lagartos, northern Yucatán, ID by D. L. Felder. 367 Colombian record is posted at http:// www.invemar.org.co/ marco_sibm.htm Records include ULLZ 2405 from Tuxpam, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder; records included for this species encompass both the typical form and the subspecies E. abbreviatus ater, proposed by Rathbun (1930). 368 McLaughlin et al. (2005) place this species with the genus Eurypanopeus rather than Panopeus, in accord with indings of recent genetic studies; records include ULLZ 2365, 4330 from Campeche, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder, and USNM 242995 from southwestern Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre; formerly regarded as a GMx endemic, but it is now reported to range beyond the GMx onto the northeast coast of Cuba (Martínez-Iglesias et al. 1993). 369 Modern range in the U.S., as given in Williams (1984b) and repeated by Nizinski (2003), is not represented to extend north of South Carolina; however, early records include New York and New Jersey (Williams 1984b), and Ryan (1956) describes life history of the species in Chesapeake Bay; recent records also include ULLZ 4240 from North Carolina, ID by C. D. Schubart. 370 Felder et al. ~ 1101 Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) 371 Records include USNM 186987 from of Louisiana, ULLZ 3609 from of Sanibel Island, Florida, and ULLZ 6793 and 7538 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Range of this species into the GMx is questionable; its precise distribution along the coastlines of Cuba is poorly documented in available publications; records include ULLZ 6859 from the Indian River Lagoon on the Atlantic coast of Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. 372 373 Records include ULLZ 7529 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 374 Records include ULLZ 6071 from of Tamaulipas, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. 375 As per discussion by Powers (1977), the single record of this species for the GMx remains questionable, and may represent a variant of H. paulensis. 376 Records include ULLZ 4207 from Brunswick, Georgia, ID by D. L. Felder, and USNM 251441, 251442 from Sarasota, Florida, ID by A. B. Williams. Reports of this species from the vicinity of Grand Isle, Louisiana, by Behre (1950) remain in question, as per discussion by Felder (1973); the early report was well prior to revisions by Williams (1984a) that clariied the status of Panopeus in the region, and the early report from Louisiana is not here included in the distribution; records include USNM 274829 from of southwestern Florida, ID by T. Czapla, and USNM 259719 from of St. Andrew Bay, Florida, ID by A. B. Williams. 377 As noted by Williams (1984a), the single record from Key West is questionable; distinction of this species from P. herbstii H. Milne Edwards remains somewhat in question, given their extreme similarity in morphology, color, and genetic measures applied to date; formerly regarded as a GMx endemic, but it is also now reported to range to the southwestern coast of Cuba (Martínez-Iglesias et al. 1993). 378 379 Records include USNM 276613 from of southwestern Florida, ID by T. Czapla. Records include USNM 260323 taken from an inland freshwater well in Marion county, central Florida, ID by R. B. Manning; also now known to occur in a number of Texas inland lakes and impoundments (http:// www.tarleton.edu / ~biology/ MudCrab.html). 380 Assignment of this genus to the Panopeidae conforms to conclusions of Guinot (1978); the report from the northwest coastline of Cuba (Rathbun 1918) is from well within deined limits of the GMx; the Colombian record was reported by Cortés and Campos (1999). 381 382 Števčić (2005) elevated this former subfamily; records include ULLZ 8567 from 80 m deep in the northeastern GMx and TCWC 2-6806 from Geyer Bank in the northwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 383 Records include ULLZ 6444 from the northeastern GMx, USNM 187078 from of Louisiana, TCWC 2-7936 from of Tampa Bay, Florida, ULLZ 6443 from of southern Texas, ID by D. L. Felder; given supericial resemblance of this species to members of the Pilumnus diomedeae complex, especially in the case of immature specimens and females, distribution records remain somewhat in question. 384 Records include ULLZ 7121 and 7521 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. As noted by Felder and Chaney (1979), many specimens from at least the northwestern GMx appear to share characters or exhibit intermediate character states of P. sayi and P. dasypodus, as presently deined; this problem remains unresolved, and the records cited here thus remain in some question. 385 386 The mutilated female holotype of this species (USNM 9526) limits comparisons to other materials and raises some question as to the identity of reported conspeciic materials, upon which we here have based the modern distributional range; variable character states among materials presently assigned to Pilumnus diomedeae suggest a complex of closely related species may be represented. 387 Records include listing from Florida Keys in http:// www.knms.nos.noaa.gov/sanctuary_resources/specieslist.pdf 388 Records include ULLZ 6440 from of Tamaulipas, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. 389 Števčić (2005) recently designated this new family to accommodate the genus Speocarcinus, species of which were treated as “Xanthoidea incertae sedis” by McLaughlin et al. (2005); it is adopted provisionally, pending outcomes of ongoing molecular phylogenetic studies. Records include ULLZ 7562 from 63–65 m on the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder, and an unnumbered specimen in the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute collections, St. Petersburg, taken from 53 m deep of Dry Tortugas, Florida, ID by D. K. Camp. 390 391 Records include TCWC 2-8656 from of Alabama in 232 m and ULLZ 6438 from 329 m deep of Louisiana, IDs conirmed by D. L. Felder. Two difering depth ranges are reported with the original description (Vázquez-Bader and Gracia 1991: 431, 434); we here combine that information to interpret an overall depth range, which appears to concur with that reported by Hernández-Aguilera, Toral Almazón, and Ruiz Nuño (1996). 392 393 Records include ULLZ 2301–2306 from the northern and northwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 394 Records include ULLZ 5729 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. Depth ranges as reported with the original description (Vázquez-Bader and Gracia 1995a: 260, 263) do not precisely concur; we here combine that information to interpret an overall depth range; in the same account, it is at one point (p. 254) reported that P. octodentata Rathbun, 1906, occurs in the GMx but later (p. 263) argued to the contrary; it is our interpretation that no records of P. octodentata can be presently conirmed within the GMx, even though its range is not in fact restricted to the Lesser Antilles; Soto (1986) accurately summarizes records of the latter species from Cuba and the Florida Straits, immediately to the east of our deined GMx limits. 395 As pointed out by Hernández-Aguilera (1982), placement of the type locality for this species near Isla Lobos, Mexico, by Guinot (1969a) cannot be conirmed to that level of precision. 396 397 Assignment of Robertsella to the family Pseudorhombilidae by Števčić (2005) is adopted provisionally, pending outcomes of ongoing molecular phylogenetic studies; it was treated among “Xanthoidea incertae sedis” by McLaughlin et al. (2005). Assignment of Tetraxanthus to the family Pseudorhombilidae by Števčić (2005) is adopted provisionally, pending outcomes of ongoing molecular phylogenetic studies; it was treated among “Xanthoidea incertae sedis” by McLaughlin et al. (2005); the confusing history of names for the 2 species of Tetraxanthus in the GMx has been reviewed by Chace (1940a) and Powers (1977); the species described and depicted as T. bidentatus in Rathbun (1930) was found to be new and was subsequently named T. rathbunae; that described and depicted in Rathbun (1930) as T. rugosus was subsequently found to represent the true T. bidentatus. 398 (continued ) 1102 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) Assignment of Tetraxanthus to the family Pseudorhombilidae by Števčić (2005) is adopted provisionally, pending outcomes of ongoing molecular phylogenetic studies; it was treated among “Xanthoidea incertae sedis” by McLaughlin et al. (2005). 399 400 Eastern Atlantic materials, and possibly specimens from Ascension Island (Manning and Chace 1990), belong to an eastern Atlantic subspecies (see Manning and Holthuis 1981). Records include USNM 265123 from Colombia, ID by R. Lemaitre; also ULLZ 4553, 4612, and 4661 from of Louisiana and ULLZ 6661 from of Dry Tortugas, ID by D. L. Felder. 401 Records include ULLZ 4613 from of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; as reported by Soto (1986), records from the Florida Straits and of Yucatán, Mexico, are both from immediately outside our established south southeastern and east southeastern limits for the GMx, so their occurrence in these regions is highly probable. 402 A new species described by Vázquez-Bader and Gracia (2004), and designated as the type for a new genus, is deemed to be a junior synonym of Micropanope urinator following studies of type materials, a widely distributed species in the GMx and western Atlantic; we nonetheless accept the need for a new genus to receive this species and propose this new combination (n. comb.), as its reassignment was not addressed in previous generic revisions of the group by Guinot (1969–present); records include ULLZ 1743 and 2440 from the northeastern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; ULLZ 4706 and 2441 from the northwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; and USNM 68848 from of Key West, ID by M. J. Rathbun. 403 404 Records include ULLZ 6856 from of Louisiana and ULLZ 7355 and 7555 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 405 Guinot (1968a) segregates the eastern Atlantic form from this species, while acknowledging its close relationship. Manning and Holthuis (1981) consider the single very dated west African record for this species to be extralimital; records include USNM 139550 from Panamá, ID by L. G. Abele. 406 407 Števčić (2005) treated this genus among the Xanthidae s.s., here followed provisionally pending outcomes of ongoing molecular genetic studies; records include TCWC 2-6148 from 11 m on the East Flower Garden Banks, northeastern GMx, ID conirmed by D. L. Felder. 408 Records include ULLZ 7865 from 45–48 m deep of northwestern Florida, ULLZ 2010 from shallow waters of Quintana Roo, Mexico, and ULLZ 2968 from shallow waters of Caribe Island of Honduras, ID by D. L. Felder; previous reports from the west coast of Africa are not assignable to this species (see Manning and Holthuis 1981). 409 Records include ULLZ 6858 from of the Mississippi River Delta, ULLZ 4614 from of western Louisiana, and ULLZ 6857 and 6858 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. The east southeastern GMx was included in the GMx range of this species, as the type locality in Cuba is immediately east of our established GMx limits there; western Atlantic records of this species were formerly reported under the junior synonyms Micropanope granulimanus (Stimpson, 1871) or Microcassiope granulimanus (Stimpson, 1871), taxonomic histories of which are reviewed in detail by Manning and Holthuis (1981: 138); the latter authors adopt previously published evidence that eastern and western Atlantic populations are conspeciic, contrary to reservations expressed by Guinot (1971). 410 Records include ULLZ 4710, 5791 from East Flower Garden Banks and ULLZ 5804 from “30 Fathom Lump” hard bank of Louisiana; also 6733 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. 411 412 Records include numerous collections from hard banks of Louisiana such as ULLZ 4793, 4808, and 4617, ID by D. L. Felder. Števčić (2005) established a new genus Olivioxantho for Xantho denticulatus, which has also been formerly treated by some authors as Xanthodius denticulatus; present distributional treatment conforms to that of Manning and Chace (1990), who included both Ascension Island and West African records for this species; Guinot (1968a: 712) earlier suggested that the eastern Atlantic form difered in minor morphological features from that of the western Atlantic, but made no subsequent taxonomic reassignment; records include TCWC 2-2247, 2-2248, and 2-2249 from Isla Lobos in the southwestern GMx, ID by J. P. Ray. 413 Both overall geographic range and GMx range as given here are restricted to records for P. rufopunctata nodosa (Stimpson, 1860), the only subspecies or form known to occur in the GMx; while Rathbun (1930) and Powers (1977) report the range of this subspecies to include Ascension Island in the Central South Atlantic, subsequent reports including that site in the range (Melo 1996, 1998b; Nizinski 2003) are in error, as Manning and Chace (1990) instead identify those materials with the West African form, P. rufopunctata africana Guinot, 1969; GMx records include ULLZ 2019 from the East Flower Garden Banks and ULLZ 4611 from another hard bank of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 414 415 Records include ULLZ 5774 from reef habitats of Veracruz, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. 416 Records include USNM 265121 from Colombia, ID conirmed by R. Lemaitre. Records include ULLZ 4661 and 9985 from Belize, ID by D. L. Felder; also, USNM 151044 from Venezuela, ID by F. A. Chace Jr. Ofshore reports of this species may instead represent misidentiications of Actaea bifrons, with which it is oten confused. 417 418 Records include ULLZ 6689, a juvenile from 62 m deep of Dry Tortugas in the E GMx, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 4870 from fouling communities in intertidal waters of rock jetties at Brazos Santiago Pass, south Texas, ID by D. L. Felder; the extreme depth record of 220 m reported for this species by Soto (1986) is questionable; no mention of P. distinctus was made in the accompanying discussion, but it is a deeper ranging congener to which this record might apply. 419 420 Records include ULLZ 4554 and 4700 among many specimens from hard banks of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. Recent records for this species continue to be reported under the names Leptodius parvulus (Fabricius, 1793), Xanthodius americanus and Cataleptodius parvulus (Fabricius, 1793), the latter two of which unfortunately both appear in McLaughlin et al. (2005); Guinot (1968a), in the course of revisions, assigned this species to Xanthodius, not to Cataleptodius, and treated Chlorodius americanus de Saussure, 1858, as its only unambiguously applicable senior synonym; records include ULLZ 7031 from the shoreline of Banco Nuevo of the northern coast of Yucatán, ID by D. L. Felder. 421 Commonly forming galls on plate corals of the genus Agaracia; records include ULLZ 4712 from the East Flower Garden Banks and ULLZ 4722 from another hard bank at 61–63 m deep of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder. 422 Felder et al. ~ 1103 Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) 423 Records from the Caribbean and Brazil may represent regional endemics of the complex, rather than the typical form, and are currently under study. 424 Record in Powers (1977) is under junior synonym, Dissodactylus alcocki Rathbun, 1918. Records include USNM 270515 from of southwestern Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre, and ULLZ 7103 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; records in Rathbun (1930) and Powers (1977) appear under the junior synonym, Dissodactylus calmani Rathbun, 1918. 425 426 Records include ULLZ 2611 and 2612 from 53 m deep of Sanibel Island, Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. As noted by Griith (1987), distribution and host records for Dissodactylus crinitichelis that predate the description of D. latus may be in error; the same may be said for depth records. 427 428 Records include ULLZ 4429 from Veracruz, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. 429 Records include ULLZ 3099 from coastal Louisiana, and ULLZ 2592 from <4 m in coastal waters of Tamaulipas, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. While this species continues to be sometimes listed under D. borradailei Rathbun, 1918, Telford (1978) concluded that name to be a junior synonym of D. primitivus; in error, both are listed in McLaughlin et al. (2005). 430 431 Records include USNM 251347 from 9 m in coastal waters of Puerto Rico, ID by C. Cutress. Wicksten (2005a) included listing of this species from the Flower Garden Banks in the northwestern GMx, on the basis of a specimen previously identiied and cataloged by L. H. Pequegnat; however, the specimen is apparently lost, and closely related species have subsequently been described, leaving some uncertainty as to the identity of the lost specimen. 432 433 Records include ULLZ 4425 from the Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 2597 from the coast of southern Texas, ID by D. L. Felder; as reviewed by Wass (1955), two forms of this species have long been known in the GMx, but they remain without taxonomic designation. 434 435 The uncertain type locality for this poorly known species is likely somewhere in the southeastern United States; present records include ULLZ 8569 from 39 m deep of northwestern Florida and ULLZ 8713 from intertidal habitats of the Indian River Lagoon on the Atlantic coast of Florida, both ID by D. L. Felder. 436 Records include ULLZ 2600, 2601 from 14 m deep of Galveston, Texas, ID by D. L. Felder, and USNM 174324 from 20 m deep of the east coast of Florida, ID by B. Boothe. 437 Records include ULLZ 4498 from Tampa Bay, Florida, ULLZ 2594 from coastal Alabama, ULLZ 2593 from coastal Louisiana, and ULLZ 2596 from coastal Texas, ID by D. L. Felder; this species appears to replace the very closely related P. sayana throughout most of the GMx, with the distribution of these 2 species perhaps overlapping in south Florida; collection depth of USNM 189205 from of southwestern Florida was 16 m. 438 Records include ULLZ 4502 from Tampa Bay, and ULLZ 2598 from the lower Laguna Madre of Texas, ID by D. L. Felder. Most early records from the GMx, such as summarized in Felder (1973) and Powers (1977), must be questioned as they most likely represented specimens of P. pearsei, which was not described until 1955; the latter species is extremely common in the GMx where it appears to replace P. sayana, except for possibly along the lower southwestern coast of Florida. 439 440 Records include ULLZ 902 from branchial chamber of ascidian taken by J. D. Thomas in Florida Keys, ID by D. L. Felder. Specimens from Florida may or may not be the same species as those from Jamaica, the type locality; they do appear to represent a diferent species from very similar populations studied by Bolaños et al. (2004) in Venezuela; as also noted by these authors, this or a closely related species may also range into coastal waters of Georgia. 441 442 As per the following endnote, this species appears to be the southern counterpart of Z. ostreum; its limited occurrence on the Paciic U.S. coast is construed to represent an introduction (Campos and Manning 2000); the depth range can only be inferred from its association with “oysters” in early collections. Early reports of occurrence in Texas coastal waters (reviewed by Felder 1973, Powers 1977) remain in question; a putative recent specimen from a commercial osyter harvested near Cedar Bayou, Texas (where reportedly found before, see Hedgpeth 1953), proved to instead be a genetic variant of Tumidotheres maculatus (J. Cuesta, personal communication); southern records for Z. ostreum may also represent, at least in part, misidentiications of Z. geddesi, the southern counterpart of this species pair (Campos and Manning 2000). 443 444 A single specimen from the mouth of the Rio Grande River in extreme southern Texas was previously identiied as this species (D. L. Felder, unpublished notes), but cannot be located among archived materials; this northern record thus remains questionable in the absence of a conirmable voucher; recent report of the warm-temperate Carolinean species U. pugnax (Smith, 1870) from Tabasco, Mexico, was noted by the authors (Álvarez, Villalobos, and Robles 2005) to be questionable, and may represent juvenile or variant materials of U. marguerita or U. rapax. Questionable records from southern Florida and the Florida Keys are discussed by Powers (1977) and Barnwell and Thurman (1984) and can likely be dismissed; the population from the GMx appears to be genetically diverged from that on the Atlantic coast of the United States (Felder and Staton 1994) and may eventually warrant separate taxonomic status. 445 Barnwell and Thurman (1984) have reviewed questionable records for this species from the Bahamas, the northern Antilles, and Texas; the latter may represent rare, extralimital occurrences in the northwestern GMx, but evidence is lacking for established populations anywhere in the the northwestern GMx. 446 447 In the absence of reliable morphological characters, it is not possible to conidently separate distribution records for U. rapax and U. virens, which are with some reservation treated as separate species for purposes of the present checklist; varied authors have treated these as separate species, sibling subspecies, or synonyms ever since the latter species was described (see reviews by Powers 1977, Barnwell and Thurman 1984); U. virens appears to be a northern GMx endemic, somewhat more cold-adapted than U. rapax, but a closely related sibling species of the latter; while compelling behavioral observations potentially support the much debated separation (Salmon and Kettler 1987), these require repetition with additional specimens to avoid pseudoreplication in the statistical design; despite promising early indings in electrophoretic analyses reported by Barnwell and Thurman (1984), allozyme analyses by Salmon and Kettler (1987) failed to (continued ) 1104 ~ Decapoda (Crustacea) Checklist of the decapod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico. (continued ) reliably separate these species; however, preliminary mtDNA gene-sequence analysis suggests possible markers to support the separation (Schubart and Felder, in preparation). 448 See notes for U. rapax; in the absence of reliable morphological characters, previous distributional records for U. virens in the northern and western GMx are inseparable from those possibly applicable to U. rapax. 449 Records include ULLZ 4597 from upper Copano Bay, Texas, ID by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 4615 and 4662, among a number from 60–75 m deep of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; Colombian record is posted at http:// www .invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htm 450 Records include USNM 258874 from of southwestern Florida, ID by R. Lemaitre, and USNM 172084 from the Yucatan Straits just outside GMx limits, ID by A. B. Williams. 451 452 Colombian record is posted at http:// www.invemar.org.co/ marco_sibm.htm Records include ULLZ 7336 from the Campeche Banks in the southwestern GMx, ID by D. L. Felder; Colombian record is posted at http:// www.invemar.org .co/ marco_sibm.htm 453 454 Records include ULLZ 2621 from of southwestern Florida, ID by D. L. Felder. 455 Colombian record is posted at http:// www.invemar.org.co/ marco_sibm.htm Records include USNM 172078 and 172088 from the southeastern GMx, and USNM 172089 from of Nicaragua, ID by A. B. Williams, as well as USNM 1000591 from of Louisiana, ID by W. E. Pequegnat; Colombian record is posted at http://www.invemar.org.co /marco_sibm.htm 456 457 Records include TCWC 2-2913 from of Louisiana, ID conirmed by D. L. Felder. Gecarcinus quadratus de Saussure, 1853, long reported from both Paciic and Atlantic coasts of the Americas, was treated as a subspecies of G. lateralis by Türkay (1970), but as a junior synonym of it by Türkay (1973); some populations in the southwestern GMx, sympatric with populations of G. lateralis, sensu stricto, in that region, are apparently assignable to this form (Türkay 1970), which continues to be treated as a separate species by a number of workers; with synonymy of these 2 species, distribution records are combined, and the G. lateralis is regarded to range widely on American shores in the eastern Paciic, as well as widely within the western Atlantic (Hartnoll 1988). 458 459 The occurrence of this species in the upper waters of Tampa Bay, Florida, likely represents an introduction from native southwestern GMx populations; as the source population is from within the GMx, it is not herein counted among records of nonindigenous GMx species. In accord with the indings of Guerao, Schubart, and Cuesta (2001), Paciic materials formerly assigned to this species are deemed most probably assignable to the resurrected Geograpsus occidentalis Stimpson, 1860, and our distribution records for G. lividus are thus restricted to the western Atlantic Ocean. 460 461 Records include ULLZ 3750 from the Atlantic coast of Florida, and ULLZ 1452 from San Felipe on the coast of Yucatán, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder; Manning and Holthuis (1981) recognize Goniopsis pelii (Herklots, 1851) for eastern Atlantic materials formerly assigned to G. cruentata. 462 In accord with Manning and Chace (1990), central and eastern Atlantic specimens formerly assigned to this species are treated as a separate species, Grapsus adscensionis (Osbeck, 1765); some subsequent workers limit this distinction to the level of forms or subspecies, but indings of larval diferences by Guerao, Schubart, and Cuesta (2001) support the separation, regardless of the rank to be accorded; records include TCWC 2-1558 from Cayo Arenas of Yucatán, Mexico, ID conirmed by D. L. Felder. Records include ULLZ 2545 and 3788 from coastal sites in Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; USNM 170178 from near Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic coast of Florida, ID by R. H. Gore; inclusion of the the eastern Paciic in the range of this species by Melo (1996, 1998b) cannot be corroborated. 463 464 Paciic reports of this species are now interpreted to represent a diferent taxon (Schubart, Cuesta, and Felder 2006). 465 Records include ULLZ 2605, a second specimen from North Padre Island, Texas, ID by T. C. Shirley (the specimen reported in postscript of Shirley 1974). 466 Records include ULLZ 2534 from west of Sanibel Island, Florida, and ULLZ 3626 from Sackett Bank immediately west of the Mississippi River Delta, ID by D. L. Felder. 467 Records include TCWC 2-9122 from South Padre Island, Texas, jetties at Brazos Santigo Pass, ID by M. K. Wicksten. Records include ULLZ 1592 from South Padre Island, Texas, jetties at Brazos Santiago Pass, and ULLZ 2541 from emergent pilings of oil platform of Louisiana, ID by D. L. Felder; recent expansion of range as invasive species includes eastern Mediterranean Sea (http://www.aquaticinvasions.ru/ , volume 1, issue 3). 468 469 Identity of eastern Paciic populations presently assigned to this species remains in question and is presently under study. The specimen collected in March 1981 from northern Yucatán, Mexico, reported in Abele (1992) as Armases angustipes, was subsequently determined to be Armases miersii (C. D. Schubart, personal communication). 470 471 Records include ULLZ 5522 and 6985 from just north of Corpus Christi, Texas, ID by D. L. Felder. Despite the conclusions of Abele (1992), Melo (1996, 1998b) does not list this species from Brazil, instead reporting S. crassipes with which it has sometimes been confused; given the diiculty of separating some specimens of these species, the recent report of S. crassipes from Tabasco, Mexico (Álvarez et al. 2005), also remains in question, it is possibly representing a variant of S. curacaoense; records include ULLZ 1403–1404 from Yucatán, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder, and ULLZ 4269–4271 from Colombia, ID by C. D. Schubart. 472 473 As noted by Felder and Staton (1994), the case for eventually recognizing GMx populations of this species as a separate taxon is strong, lacking only deinitive adult morphological characters other than their distinctly diferent coloration; GMx populations have thus been treated as S. nr. reticulatum in recent works (Zimmerman and Felder 1991). Records include USNM 282886 from North Carolina, ID by A. B. Williams; also ULLZ 2608 from the shores of Caminada Pass, Louisiana, and ULLZ 3703 from Tamaulipas, Mexico, ID by D. L. Felder. 474 475 Records in the GMx are limited to a single specimen of this nonindigenous catadromous species, ULLZ 3684, obtained from Bay Gardene, Louisiana (east side of Mississippi Delta), ID by D. L. Felder; recent U.S. reports now include Chesapeake Bay, Maryland (http://www.aquaticinvasions.ru/, volume 1, issue 3).
