Shallow-water Mysidacea from the Lesser Antilles and other Caribbean regions

This report is the seventh in a series of papers dealing with Mysidacea (Crustacea) from shallow water in the tropical and warm-temperate areas of the western Atlantic (BRATTEGARD 1969, 1970a, 1970b, 1973, 1974a, 1974b). Five of these are dealing with material collected by the author in southern Florida, the Bahamas, Colombia and Panamá. Another paper deals with shallow-water mysids gathered mainly in Mexico (Quintana Roo province) and the Antilles. Hitherto unpublished material of shallow-water mysids collected by various investigators working in near-shore water of the Lesser Antilles and other Caribbean regions is presented in this publication together with previously published records from the area. At least 20 species were collected; new and previous records are presented with short notes on geographical distribution and ecology.
