La intensa vida ritual de la capital altiplánica no sólo se refleja en las complejas ceremonias plasmadas en el arte escultórico, sino también en las ricas ofrendas inhumadas en los principales edificios públicos. De uno de estos contextos procede un conjunto inusitado de animales marinos traídos desde las lejanas costas del Océano Pacífico. Las es...
Background
The family Synallactidae comprises mostly deep-sea forms and is the least-studied large taxon amongst deep-sea cucumbers. They are part of the abyssal megafauna and play an important role in modifying the sediment landscape and structuring the communities that live within it. The family embraces the genus Synallactes, which contains appr...
Introduction: The Sierra Santa Teresa is located 20 km southeast of Hermosillo in the central region of Sonora state, Mexico. The sedimentary strata mainly correspond to limestone, mudstone, wackestone and packstone texture, from the upper Paleozoic. The biota is represented by crinoids of the morphospecies Baryschyr anosus, Cyclocaudex insaturatus...

Introduction:
In Mexico, there are two recorded living species of Cassiduloida: Cassidulus caribaearum and Rhyncholampas pacifica. Most of the taxonomic studies on cassiduloids have used external morphology, pedicellariae and morphometric characters; however, the intraspecific variation of quantitative and qualitative characters has been poorly eva...
Se encontraron espículas de cinco especies de pepino de mar (Isostichopus fuscus, Neopentamera anexigua, Neothyone gibber, N. gibbosa y Pachythyone lugubris) en la ofrenda 126 dedicada a Tlaltecuhtli del Templo Mayor.
Pentamera fonsecae n. sp. is described from seven specimens as a new species of Thyonidae from the Pacific coast of
Costa Rica. It is distinguished from its congeners by having tables with ladder-shaped spires in the body wall, and tube
feet with curved support tables of variable height and tables as those found in the body wall slightly smaller th...
The morphological study of fossil and recent species of the families Echinolampadidae Gray, 1851 and Cassidulidae L. Agassiz and Desor, 1847, from different localities of Mexico was carried out. In the fossil species, Echinolampas aldrichi Twitchell, 1915 in Clark and Twitchell (1915), Echinolampas mexicanus Lambert, 1928 and Echinolampas veracruze...

Epitomaptasimentalaesp. n. occurs in depths of 4–10 m off the Mexican Central Pacific coast. It is distinctive in having twelve tentacles, each tentacle with two or three pairs of digits and four to six sensory cups, lacking papillae or oval bumps and in reaching a maximum length of 50 mm in life.
La posición geográfica de México lo hace uno de los países más biodiversos del planeta. El estudio de la diversidad de los equinodermos de México comenzó́ en el siglo XIX. En México se encuentran 818 especies de equinodermos, siendo la clase Ophiuroidea la más rica con 240 especies, Asteroidea contiene 229, Echinoidea 153, Holothuroidea 165 y Crino...
México alberga una significativa diversidad de equinodermos, a nivel genérico y específico. Su reconocimiento ha sido posible gracias a los estudios taxonómicos e inventarios del grupo realizados en diversos hábitats marinos, los cuales, aunque no están completos, presentan información valiosa sobre su distribución. Hasta el momento se han reconoci...
Irregular echinoids can be found in almost all marine habitats, from the polar to the equatorial regions, and from the intertidal zone to great depths; some species have a cosmopolitan distribution, but most are geographically restricted, and all live in very particular habitats to a greater or lesser degree in Mexico has 153 species distributed wi...
Echinoderms from Nicaragua: new records for the Pacific and South Caribbean. There is little information about the echinoderms of Nicaragua. Here we present a list based on bibliographical revisions and collections of specimens made in the last three years. Samplings were made from June 11 to 16, 2016, in 10 locations (two in the Pacific and eight...
