1 JOURNAL OF CRUSTACEAN BIOLOGY, 19(1): , 1999 NEW SPECIES OF TROGLOBITIC SHRIMPS FROM MEXICO, WITH THE DESCRIPTION OF TROGLOMEXICANUS, NEW GENUS (DECAPODA: PALAEMONIDAE) Jose' Luis Villalobos, Fernando Alvarez, and Thomas M. Ilifle ABSTRACT A new genus of cavernicolous fresh-water palaemonid shrimp, Troglomexicanus, and two new species, 7: tarnaulipasensis and 7: huastecae, are described from El Abra limestone caves in the states of San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas, northeastern Mexico. Troglomexicanus includes 7: perezfarfantar, formerly in the genus Troglocubanus. distributed also in El Abra limestone caves. The following characters shared by the 3 species support the creation of the new genus: rostrum without dorsal or ventral teeth, maxilla with single-lobed endite, bilobed epipodite of first maxilliped, second maxilliped without podobranch, and absence of antennal, hepatic, or branchiostegal spines of carapace. The maxilla with single-lobed endite and a bilobed epipodite of first maxilliped are two characters not shared with any other genus in the subfamily Palaemoninae. Previous to this study, the palaemonid genus MATERIALS AND METHODS Troglocubanus Holthuis, 1949, included six four distributed in Cuba [T. eigen- Individuals of the new species described herein were collected during the Blindcat Collecting Expedition to the manni (H~~, 1903), ':ibarensis (chase, Sierra de El Abra, San Luis Potosi-Tamaulipas.

Spring water measured at 12 separate sites had markedly increased temperature, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, and redox potential at 23.05"C pslcm, 5.4 mgll, and 380 mv, respectively, while ph decreased to These data suggest that the spring and cave waters are not directly connected and, considering that the spring-water parameters significantly extend the depth trends observed in the cave, come from considerable depths. Shrimps were collected by hand in individual vials. The shrimps were observed swimming in the water column primarily at depths below the 40-m chemocline. Troglobitic catfish (Ictaluridae, Prietella),mysids, isopods (Cirolanidae and Trichoniscidae), gastropods, and branchiobdelid worms were also collected from the same locations within the cave. Manantial de Sun Rafael de Los Castro, Municinio de Ciudad Mante, ~ama>i~as, Mexico, 13 March 1997 (Fig. l).-the s~ringentrance is located at the southern edge of the village f : San Rafael de Los Castros at an elevation of 98 m. The water surface is accessible at the bottom of a 4-m deep pit, but flows under a short natural bridge before emerging permanently on the surface. From this pit, the underwater cave continues as an irregular series of small to medium-sized chambers before adeep fissure extends to depths in excess of 60 m. The flow rate from the spring was very low at the time of visitation. Water quality measurements were made at 2-s intervals with a Hydrolab Data Sonde 3. The water mass within the cave was homogeneous at 27.3"C, 0.76 ps1cm specific conductance, 0.9 mgll dissolved oxygen, ph 7.47, and 335 mv redox potential. These values show markedly higher temperatures and lower dissolved oxygen than those at Cueva del Nacimiento del Rio Frio. Shrimps were collected by hand primarily from sections of the cave near the entrance at 0-15-m water depths. Troglobitic catfish (Ictaluridae, Prietella), isopods (Stenasellidae and Cirolanidae), and amphipods were also collected. Material of the new species treated herein is deposited in the Colecci6n Nacional de Crustaceos, Instituto de Biologia, Universidad Nacional Aut6noma de Mexico (CNCR). The abbreviations used are: cl = carapace length and tl = total length.

First pair of pereiopods slender and chelate; second pair longer than first, with palm and fingers of chela elongated; remaining pereiopods not chelate, with simple dactyl. Propodus of fifth pair of pereiopods with sparse setae along posterior margin and with dense distal tuft. Distribution.-The distribution range of the genus is confined to limestone caves in the El Abra Formation, part of the Sierra de El Abra, a small mountain range of 125 km, that runs north-south 150 km west from the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Sierra de El Abra is located in the northeastern portion of the state of San Luis Potosi and the adjacent southwestern section of the state of Tamaulipas (Fig. 1). perezfar- Type Species.-Troglomexicanus fantae (Villalobos, 1971). Etymology.-The genus name is derived from Greek troglo (dwelling in a cave) and Mexican, since the new genus is distributed only in Mexican caves.

In the case of Troglomexicanus, S6tano de Tinaja (22"05'N, Etymology.-The specific name is derived from Huasteca, the name used for this region 89"56'W), the type locality of I: perezfalfantae, is located 75 and 102 km south from the of Mexico. Remarks.-Troglomexicanus huastecae seems type localities of i? huastecae and T. tamaulipasensis, respectively, on the western slope to be more closely related to T. tamaulipasensis than to 7: perezlfalfantae, as discussed in the southern tip of El Abra limestone (Fig. above. However, the three species are very l), leaving an extensive area unexplored for similar. The caves in which 7: huastecae and crustaceans. T. tamaulipasensis were collected are closer Troglomexicanus is clearly related to Troglocubanus. However, following the ideas of to each other (27 km) than to S6tano de Tinaja, the type locality of i? perezlfalfantae, Villalobos (1971) and Hobbs et al. (1977), the 75 and 102 km to the south. separation of the ancestral marine stock that invaded fresh water to become the Antillean KEY TO THE SPECIESOF TROGLOMEXICANUS and Mexican branches must have taken place 1. Telson longer than internal branch of uropods...troglomexicanus perezfa$antae - Telson shorter than internal branch of uropods 2 2. Posterior margin of telson rounded Troglomexicanus tamaulipensis - Posterior margin of telson straight......troglomexicanus huastecae D~scuss~o~ Villalobos (1971), in the description of Troglocubanus perezlfalfantae, stated that the Mexican species of Troglocubanus differed from the Antillean species in three characters: the absence of spines on the carapace, the endite of the maxilla single-lobed, and the epipodite of the first maxilliped bilobed. Hobbs et al. (1 977) figured and presented diagnosis of the six species that belonged to Troglocubanus, recording again the noticeable differences between the Antillean and the Mexican species. In this study, based on these three characters. not shared by any other genus of fresh-water shrimp of the subfamily Palaemoninae, the genus Troglomexicanus is proposed. The species of Troglomexicanuscome from caves that have formed in the limestone of Sierra de El Abra, a small mountain range that runs along a north-south axis in the very early in the evolution of the group. Chace and Hobbs (1969) postulated a Miocene origin for the Antillean species through separate invasions of Cuba and Jamaica. Villalobos (1971) proposed a Cretaceous origin for the Mexican stock, coinciding with the probable time of uplifting of the coastal area from which the El Abra limestone originates (Mitchell et al., 1977). The different postulated times at which invasions of the freshwater habitat may have taken place would suggest an older age for the Mexican stock. Under this scheme, the very specialized mouthparts of Troglomexicanus would be a consequence of a longer period of isolation. As pointed out by Chace and Hobbs (1969) and recognized by other authors, no epigean species closely related to Troglocubanus, and now to Troglomexicanus, can be identified, making the establishment of relationships of these two genera a difficult task. Collection of the shrimp described here was part of the March 1997 Blindcat Collecting Expedition led by Dr. Dean A. Hendrickson. Major funding for the expedition was supplied by U.S.-Mexico Foundation for Science (Project 54-E-94). Specimens were collected under SE- MARNAP permit 3120 (29 August 1996) issued to Dr. Hendrickson. We thank DiveRite Manufacturing, Inc., and
