Mayerella redunca McCain, 1968 (Figures 10, 11) Mayerella redunca McCain, 1968: 75–78, figs 37, 38, 50. McCain and Steinberg, 1970: 53. Guerra-García, 2003a: 189, 191, 194, figs 8, 11. Diaz et al., 2005: 3, 6, 19–20, figs 10, 11. Paz-Ríos and Ardisson, 2013: 2, fig. 1. Material examined Station 8, one male, one female (female used for figures), CYMX-75-PY. Station 9, two males (one male from this station used for figures), CYMX-76-PY. Type locality Coche Island, Venezuela. Distribution Gulf of Mexico; Caribbean Sea (McCain 1968; Diaz et al. 2005; Paz-Ríos and Ardisson 2013). Records in the Gulf of Mexico MEX: Northeastern Yucatan Shelf (Paz-Ríos and Ardisson 2013). USA: off Louisiana (LGL Ecological Research Associates Inc., and Texas AandM University 1986). Habitat This species has been collected in plankton samples and on sandy sediments (Diaz et al. 2005; Paz-Ríos and Ardisson 2013). The depth range reported is intertidal zone extending to 320 m (Paz-Ríos and Ardisson 2013). Remarks According to a review of the genus Mayerella by Guerra-García (2003a), the primary diagnostic characteristics of male M. redunca are: dactylus of gnathopod 2 slightly curved, shorter than propodus, and abdomen with appendages elongated and curved apically. This species has been collected rarely; only three records from the Gulf of Mexico have been reported since its original description in the Caribbean Sea (Paz-Ríos and Ardisson 2013). : Published as part of Paz-Ríos, Carlos E., Guerra-García, José M. & Ardisson, Pedro-Luis, 2014, REVIEW ARTICLE Caprellids (Crustacea: Amphipoda) from the Gulf of Mexico, with observations on Deutella mayeri, redescription of Metaprotella hummelincki, a taxonomic key and zoogeographical comments, pp. 2517-2578 in Journal of Natural History 48 (41 - 42) on pages 2540-2543, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2014.931481, http://zenodo.org/record/5194444 : {"references": ["McCain JC. 1968.
