8C5D87D5BA4DFFA1FDEC9354FAE94E4C.taxon	discussion	Remarks Amakusanthura guerrerensis sp. nov. shares the following characteristics with 41 previously recorded species of the genus: (1) maxillipedal palp with three free articles, the internal angle of the second article projected; (2) pleon longer than wide; (3) pleonites 1 – 3 with dorsal suture lines and 4 – 5 dorsally fused. The new species differs by presenting a unique combination of characteristics: antenna with scales in the internal margin of the second article; palm of the pereopod 1 with a medial projection as a step armed with eight short setae; exopod of pleopod 1 with one proximal and medial simple seta, and 48 distal plumose setae. Amakusanthura guerrerensis sp. nov. is similar to A. californiensis (Schultz, 1964), the only species recorded in the eastern Pacific, with the following characteristic: (1) more than eight setae in the distolateral part of the telson. The new species, however, differs from A. californiensis in the presence of a pigmented line in the pereonites 3 – 7 and pleonite 5, distal article of the mandibular palp with five pectinate setae, palm of the pereopod 1 with a medial projection as a step armed with eight short setae and pleonite 6 is strongly emarginated. In comparison, A. californiensis has no pigment, the distal article of the mandibular palp has four setae, palm straight, and the pleonite 6 is slightly emarginated.	en	Jarquín-Martínez, Ubaldo, García-Madrigal, María del Socorro (2021): Six new species of Anthuridae (Peracarida: Isopoda) from the southern Mexican Pacific.

8C5D87D5BA47FFA4FD5C9596FE764DD2.taxon	discussion	Remarks Cortezura caeca sp. nov. differs from the two previously recorded species of this genus, C. penascoensis, described from Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, and C. confixa (Kensley, 1978) described from Cubagua Island, Venezuela, by the following unique characteristics: distal article of the mandibular palp with four medial setae and one apical, lacinia mobilis with 13 denticles, telson with distolateral carina, distal region with eight subapical setae and eight apical. Cortezura caeca sp. nov. is similar to C. penascoensis as follows: (1) form of telson, (2) palm of pereopod 1, and (3) maxilla. However, in C. caeca sp. nov. the distal article of the mandibular palp has four medial setae and one apical, lacinia mobilis with 13 denticles, distally tapered telson and the apex is truncated, pereopods 2 – 7 with scales on the merus, carpus and propodus. And in C. penascoensis the distal article of the mandibular palp has six medial setae and one apical, lacinia mobilis presents 8 teeth, pleon with six conspicuous segments. The antennular flagellum of the male of Cortezura caeca sp. nov. has four articles and the palm of pereopod 1 has a strong tooth projected transversally, while C. penascoensis has one article on the flagellum, palm of pereopod 1 with tooth projected proximally.	en	Jarquín-Martínez, Ubaldo, García-Madrigal, María del Socorro (2021): Six new species of Anthuridae (Peracarida: Isopoda) from the southern Mexican Pacific.

Skuphonura itapuca, described from Nichteroy, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is the closest species to S. oaxaquensis sp. nov. by the following characteristics: (1) absence of a mid-ventral spine in the pereonite 1, (2) mid-ventral region of cephalon with two processes, (3) second article of mandibular palp with three long setae. However, in S. oaxaquensis sp. nov. the body is partially pigmented, cephalon slightly wider medially, flagellum of antennule with three articles, distal article with three aesthetascs, flagellum of antenna with four articles, and carpus of pereopod 1 is externally projected and palm with one proximal tooth; while, S. itapuca lacks pigment, anterior margin of the cephalon is slightly wider than the posterior, flagellum of antennule with two article and two distal aesthetascs, flagellum of antenna with one article, carpus of pereopod 1 projected apically and palm with one proximal and one distal spine. Skuphonura oaxaquensis sp. nov. and S. kensleyi, described from Santa Marta, Punta de Betín, Colombian Caribbean, are similar by the following characteristics: (1) pigmentation pattern, (2) cephalon slightly wider medially, (3) antennular flagellum, (4) carpus of pereopod 1. However, in S. kensleyi the pereonites and pleon have reticulated pigmentation, antennular flagellum with one aesthetasc, antennal flagellum with one article, the second article of the mandibular palp with two distal setae and three proximal setae, lacinia mobilis with six denticles, and palm of the pereopod 1 has a medial tooth; while, in S. oaxaquensis sp. nov. the reticulated pigmentation is partial in pereonite 4 and pleon. Skuphonura oaxaquensis sp. nov. differs from the preceding species by the following unique characteristics: (1) body pigmentation, (2) last article of mandibular palp with four setae, (3) lacinia mobilis with 11 denticles, (4) inner margin of the second article of maxillipedal palp sinus, and (5) palm of pereopod 1 with a proximal tooth.	en	Jarquín-Martínez, Ubaldo, García-Madrigal, María del Socorro (2021): Six new species of Anthuridae (Peracarida: Isopoda) from the southern Mexican Pacific.

8C5D87D5BA51FF8AFD89974EFAC04882.taxon	discussion	Remarks Tinggianthura alba Chew, Abdul-Rahim & Haji Ross, 2014, described from Pulau Tinggi, Johor, Malaysia, is the only other species of this genus and differs from T. mexicana sp. nov. by having the following unique characteristics: body slightly pigmented; article three of mandibular palp with one pectinate seta; pleopod 1 with inner margin of protopod with two distal setae and exopod with inner proximal seta; and telson and uropodal exopod with scales on dorsal surface. Tinggianthura mexicana sp. nov. is similar to T. alba by the following characteristics: (1) the article 3 of the mandibular palp is almost a third of 1, (2) maxillipedal palp with two free segments, (3) palm of the pereopod 1 without a marginal projection, and (4) pleon as long as wide. The new species differs from T. alba by (1) distal setae of telson, (2) antennal flagellum, (3) lacinia mobilis, (4) molar process, and (5) palm of pereopod 1. While in T. alba the telson has three setae on the lateral margins and eight on the dorsal surface, the antennal flagellum has two articles, lacinia mobilis with five denticles, molar process is strongly projected, and the palm of pereopod 1 has many setae. In comparison, in the new species the telson has five lateral and 10 dorsal setae, antennal flagellum with three articles, lacinia mobilis with four teeth, molar process is truncated, and palm of the pereopod 1 with eight robust setae (Table 3).	en	Jarquín-Martínez, Ubaldo, García-Madrigal, María del Socorro (2021): Six new species of Anthuridae (Peracarida: Isopoda) from the southern Mexican Pacific.
