Amphilochidae (Crustacea: Amphipoda) From The Western Gulf Of Mexico And Caribbean Sea, L.D. Mckinney

Gulf and Caribbean Research

Two new species of Amphilochus, Amphilochus casahoya and Amphilochus delacaya, and one new species of Gitanopsis, Gitanopsis laguna, are described. Relationships within these genera, particularly Amphilochus, are difficult to determine. The new species, however, are similar to some eastern Pacific forms. One known species, Amphilochus neapolitanus is also reported as occurring in both the Gulf and Caribbean.
