Cumacea (Crustacea) of the Gulf of Mexico

The malacostracan crustacean order Cumacea was not treated in Galtsoff 's (1954) The Gulf of Mexico: Its Origin, Waters, and Marine Life. The present synopsis deals with the species of cumaceans that are currently known or verifiably reported from the Gulf of Mexico (GMx). As a group, cumaceans...

The malacostracan crustacean order Cumacea was not treated in Galtsoff 's (1954) The Gulf of Mexico: Its Origin, Waters, and Marine Life. The present synopsis deals with the species of cumaceans that are currently known or verifiably reported from the Gulf of Mexico (GMx). As a group, cumaceans from the Gulf region still remain poorly known, especially those taxa from deepwater environments. Most published species records come from inshore, coastal, and shelf waters. Pequegnat, Gallaway, and Pequegnat (1990) reported the presence of 76 species from depths greater than 300 m of the Gulf, but no taxonomic designations for these deep-sea taxa were listed in their publication. To date, with the exception of Petrescu and Heard (2005), no specific data for the deepwater species from the Gulf have been formally published. In this synopsis we list and annotate the recognized species reported from the Gulf of Mexico, which, as defined here, also includes the Florida Keys west of Key Largo and northwestern Cuba. Distribution, depth records, and updated taxonomic information for the 40 nominal species reported from the GMx region are presented (see taxon summary and checklist).
