Description
Summary:During a faunistic survey of the islands and islets of Bahía Chamela, Jalisco, Mexico, 40 species of caridean shrimps belonging to 5 families were collected; the Alpheidae with 3 genera and 20 species was the best represented, followed by the Palaemonidae with 10 genera and 12 species. Other families found were: Hippolytidae (3 genera, 5 species), Gnathophyllidae (1 genus, 1 species), and Processidae (1 genus, 2 species). Compared with the rest of the Mexican Pacific, the number of species found represents 44% of the genera and 45% of the benthic species of caridean shrimps reported to date. Ninety percent of the species collected correspond to new records for Bahía Chamela. Two species, Neopontonides henrivronprahli from Costa Rica and Colombia, and Thor cocoensis from Costa Rica and the Galápagos Islands, are recorded for the first time since their original description, extending their distribution range by ca 16 and 14 degrees of latitude to the north, respectively. Como resultado de un estudio faunístico realizado en la bahía Chamela, Jalisco, se recolectó un total de 40 especies de carideos pertenecientes a 5 familias; los Alpheidae con 3 géneros y 20 especies fueron los mejor representados, seguidos por los Palaemonidae con 10 géneros y 12 especies. Otras familias fueron: Hippolytidae (3 géneros y 5 especies), Gnathophyllidae (1 género, 1 especie) y Processidae (1 género, 2 especies). Comparado con el resto del Pacífico mexicano, el número de especies encontradas representan el 44% de los géneros y el 45% de las especies de camarones carideos bentónicos registrados hasta la fecha. El 90% de las especies recolectadas corresponde a nuevos registros para la bahía Chamela. Dos especies, Neopontonides henrivronprahli de Costa Rica y Colombia, y Thor cocoensis de Costa Rica y las islas Galápagos, se registran por primera vez desde su descripción original, extendiendo su distribución aproximadamente 16 y 14 grados de latitud al norte, respectivamente.
