| Abstract: | Eight species of the genus Perinereis were found in Mexican waters (Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean). Of these, three species are newly described: one for the Caribbean (P. cariboea) and two for the Mexican Pacific (P. bajacalifornica and P. osoriotafalli). Perinereis anderssoni is redescribed based on type material collected in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The previous records of this species from Mexico are referred to P. elenacasoae. A neotype is designated for P. elenacasoae, since the type material is lost, and the species is redescribed based on the neotype. |
