Abstract

To date the occurrence of Mayerella redunca has only been reported from the northern Gulf of Mexico (USA) and southern Caribbean (Venezuela). Based on samples collected from the continental shelf of Yucatan, this paper provides the first record of M. redunca from the southern Gulf of Mexico (Mexico), along with its main morphological features.
