Abstract

The Mysida of the mexican Caribbean are still very poor studied up today. This paper is the first contribution to the knowledge of the group of crustaceans in the Coral Reef National Park Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo. The material was collected from different substrates with SCUBA, mainly sponges, macroalgae and coral rubble. A total of eight species of mysids were documented for this reef park. The species Heteromysis elegans, Brattegard, 1974; H. (Olivemysis) floridensis Brattegard, 1969 y H. (O.) siciliseta Brattegard, 1970, are new records for the Mexican Caribbean.
