Examination of material from the Campeche region of the southern Gulf of Mexico revealed the presence of a new genus and species of Apseudidae that appears to be transitional between Bunakenia Guu and Apseudes Leach sensu lato. This new taxon, Pseudobunakenia anablesis n. gen., n. sp. is found throughout the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and Northwest Atlantic as far north as South Carolina. It is known in the literature under the designation Apseudes spinosa Sars sensu Dawson and Apseudes sp. A (Heard et al.). Also, Bunakenia hamata n. sp. is described from offshore Georgia and is distributed from the Florida Gulf Coast and the Northwest Atlantic as far north as South Carolina. It is known in the literature under the designation Bunakenia sp. A (Heard et al.) and is the only known species of that genus in the GOM/NW Atlantic. It can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of characters such as the pereonites having posterolateral apophyses, the antennule first peduncle article denticulate, the antennule accessory flagellum having five articles, and the first pereopod having four ventral propodal spiniform setae. A key to the known species is presented.
对来自墨西哥湾南部坎佩切地区的材料进行检查，发现了 Apseudidae 科的一个新属和新种，它似乎是 Bunakenia Guu 和 Apseudes Leach（广义）之间的过渡物种。这个新的分类单元，Pseudobunakenia anablesis n. gen., n. sp. 分布于整个墨西哥湾（GOM）和西北大西洋，北至南卡罗来纳州。在文献中，它被称为 Apseudes spinosa Sars sensu Dawson 和 Apseudes sp. A（Heard 等人）。此外，Bunakenia hamata n. sp. 是从佐治亚州近海描述的，分布于佛罗里达墨西哥湾海岸和西北大西洋，北至南卡罗来纳州。在文献中，它被称为 Bunakenia sp. A（Heard 等人），是 GOM/NW Atlantic 中该属唯一已知的物种。它可以通过一些特征的组合与同属的其他物种区分开来，例如，身体的胸节具有后外侧突，触角第一触角节具小齿，触角附加鞭具五个节，第一对步足具四个腹侧具刺状的短刚毛。本文提供了一个已知物种的关键特征。
