Family Upogebiidae Borradaile, 1903b

Only one genus of this family, Upogebia , is present in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The key and descriptions presented here follow Williams (1986a), which contains detailed synonymies and descriptions. Williams (1986a: 4) also reported a single finding of the Atlantic species, U. affinis ( Say, 1818) , from San Francisco Bay, California. This may be the record on which Sakai (2006) based his statement that U. affinis is distributed in the western Atlantic and “in the eastern Pacific Ocean.” Campos et al. (2009) listed parasitic and symbiotic species found with upogebiids.
