Type locality

Pacific coast of Mexico, Mazatlán Harbor, 23.1814° N, 106.4242° W ( Ortiz et al. 2017a).

Revised definition

Adapted to the scheme in Table 2 View Table 2 by using published data ( Ortiz et al. 2017a, 2017 b) on adults of both sexes: all features diagnosed above for the genus Mysidium Dana, 1852 , and its new subgenus Occimysidium . Cornea crescent-like in dorsal view, with ‘diameter’ 1.5 times as long as terminal segment of antennular trunk. Eyestalks smooth. Rostrum triangular, apically bluntly pointed, not extending beyond eyestalks. Appendix masculina with separate inner and distal tufts of setae; its length 2.0–2.2 times terminal segment of antennular trunk. Length of antennal scale six times maximum width; scale reaching well beyond antennular trunk. Median segment of mandibular palp with setae on both margins. Carpopropodus of first to eighth thoracic endopods 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 2, and two-segmented, respectively. Basal segment occupies 0.8 times total length of carpopropodus of endopod 3. Pleopods 1–2, 5 rodlike, not considering the reduced endopodal portion (pseudobranchial lobe); male pleopod 3 with an additional, small endite. Length of male pleopods increases in order of pleopods 1, (subequal 2, 3, 5), 4. Sympod of male pleopod 4 without endite. Exopod with basal segment occupying 54% total length. Endopod reduced to lobe with = 22% sympod length; apically with one long seta and more proximally four additional shorter setae. Uropodal endopod 0.7 times as long as exopod. Telson spatulate, caudally gradually narrowing; length 2.3 times maximum width near basis; terminal margin convex, evenly rounded. Proximal 51–52% of lateral margins smooth, distal portion of each margin with continuous series of 20–22 acute laminae. Terminal margin lined by 23–25 more densely set, acute laminae. These latter laminae more slender than the neighboring latero-terminal laminae.
