“…Pleurerythrops inscita and P. secunda have a long, bare, or slightly barbed seta on the ultimate and penultimate segments of the fifth pleopod in males (Ii 1964;Murano 1970a;Panampunnayil 1998). Pleurerythrops americana males also have two modified setae on the ultimate segment of the endopod of the fifth pleopod, but unlike all other Pleurerythrops species, do not have a pair of plumose setae on the apex of the telson (Zoppi de Roa and Delgado 1989). The pleopods of male Pleurerythrops monospinosa lack modified setae (Liu and Wang 1986).…”

A taxonomic revision of the genus Meterythrops is provided, including a redescription of M. microphthalmus and newly reported characters of M. japonicus, M. pictus, and M. robustus. Adult males of all species (excluding M. japonicus and M. megalops because no adult males of these species have been collected) have pleopods with modified setae, which are found on the fifth pleopod in M. microphthalmus and M. robustus, and on the fourth and fifth pleopods in M. pictus. Two new species, M. intermedius and M. tenuispinis, from Alaskan and East Asian waters, respectively, are also described. Males of both species also have modified setae on the fifth pleopod. Meterythrops microphthalmus and M. robustus are recorded for the first time from Alaskan waters and Japanese waters, respectively.

As for other crustacean peracarid taxa (i.e. amphipods, cumaceans, isopods), the mysid fauna of the Caribbean coast of Venezuela remains poorly known. Our study was based on the examination of 111 specimens collected at seven shallow-water marine localities in the Golfo Triste. A total of five genera and five species [Anchialina typica (Krøyer), Bowmaniella dissimilis (Coifmann), Siriella chierchiae Coifmann, Heteromysis guitarti Bãcescu and Parvimysis bahamensis Brattegard] were collected from 25 samples taken between 2000 and 2002. Two species reported here (Anchialina typica and Parvimysis bahamensis ) are new records for the Caribbean coast of Venezuela and constitute range extensions for the south Caribbean Sea coast.
