Updated checklist of the bopyrid isopods (Epicaridea: Bopyroidea) from Mexico

Based on an extensive bibliographic review, an updated checklist of epicaridean isopods belonging to Bopyroidea recorded from Mexico is provided. A total of 55 species distributed in 3 families, 10 subfamilies and 39 genera are listed. Of these, 8 species (14.5%) have been registered only in Mexi...

description Based on an extensive bibliographic review, an updated checklist of epicaridean isopods belonging to Bopyroidea recorded from Mexico is provided. A total of 55 species distributed in 3 families, 10 subfamilies and 39 genera are listed. Of these, 8 species (14.5%) have been registered only in Mexico so far, 36 species (65.4%) are distributed along the Atlantic coast and 19 (34.5%) along the Pacific coast. The lower diversity of these parasites in the latter region could reveal insufficient sampling of potential hosts. Approximately 80% of the bopyrid species parasitize individuals belonging to the infraorders Caridea (27 species, 50%) and Anomura (17 species, 30.9%). Type-localities and updated data on their known geographic ranges along both Mexican coast and those of other regions are included for all the species.
