Description
Se describe a Coricuma nicoyensis gen. et sp. nov. (Crustacea, Cumacea) con base en material recolectado en 1984 en la playa fangosa (> 30% de limo + arcilla) de Punta Morales, Golfo de Nicoya (10° N, 85° W), Costa Rica. La clasificación exacta de este nuevo género es problemática y por el momento se le asigna a Bodotriillae. Este es el sexto cumáceo descrito de la costa Pacífica de las Américas entre California y la Tierra del Fuego.
Coricuma nicoyensis gen.et sp. nov. (Crustacea, Cumacea) is described from material collected during 1984 at the Punta Morales intertidal mud flat (> 30% silt + clay), Gulf of Nicoya (10° N, 85° W), Costa Rica. The exact placement of the new genus is problematical and for the present time is assigned to the Bodotriinae. This is the sixth cumacean described from the Pacific coast of the Americas between California and Tierra del Fuego.
