| Abstract |
The polyplacophoran fauna from the rocky-coralline system of Oaxaca, in the Mexican Tropical Pacific, consists of 13 species, including either endemic and widely distributed species. Chitons were collected in eight localities along the central area of Oaxaca, at 0-7 m of depth. Lepidochitona (L.) salvadorensis is recorded for the first time from Mexican waters. New data of distribution are reported for Lepidozona (L.) serrata, Stenoplax (S.) mariposa and Acanthochitona arragonites, all previously known only from the Gulf of California. Chiton (C.) albolineatus is confirmed as an endemic species of the Mexican Tropical Pacific. Two species, Lepidochitona sp. and Ischnochiton sp., are probably new and will be described when more material will be available. Each species is systematically treated, commented and illustrated. |
