Abstract

New records of deep-sea marine amphipods are presented. Three families, three genera and three species (Chuneola paradoxa, Epimeria ortizi and Trischizostoma nicaeense) are recorded for the first time for the Gulf of Mexico. Another species, T. raschi, is recorded for the first time from the Florida Keys, the Lesser Antilles, and the eastern Atlantic Ocean.
