Remarks. Salmoneus wehrtmanni , previously known from Mexico based on older USNM material from Bahía de Ascensión ( Anker 2010a), is now also recorded from Mahahual and Cozumel ( Fig. 7 ). All these localities are situated in Quintana Roo, Yucatan Peninsula, and the species is also known from Panama, Honduras, and Tobago ( Anker 2010a). Despite the Caribbean-wide distribution of S. wehrtmanni , this is the first time the species is reported since its original description.
