Our study provides a checklist of 36 crustacean decapods from the Mexican tropical Pacific coastline. Most of the species were previously recorded from coral communities in the Gulf of California. Data were obtained by visual censuses of coral communities and some specimens were collected by extractions of coral branches (approximately eight liters of coral volume). We found new geographic records for three species from the Eastern Pacific and seven species that have extended ranges into Mexican waters. Only one species is documented with a northerly range from Central America to Mexican waters.
我们的研究提供了一份来自墨西哥热带太平洋海岸线的36种甲壳纲十足目动物的清单。大多数物种此前记录于加利福尼亚湾的珊瑚群落。数据通过对珊瑚群落的目视普查获得，一些标本通过采集珊瑚枝条（约8升珊瑚体积）获得。我们发现了三种东太平洋物种的新地理记录，以及七种分布范围扩展至墨西哥海域的物种。只有一个物种被记录有从美国中部到墨西哥海域的向北分布范围。
