Pseudorhombila ometlanti

Vázquez-Bader, A. R., and A. Gracia. 1995a. A new crab of the genus Pseudorhombila H. Milne-Edwards, 1837 (Crustacea: Decapoda: Goneplacidae). Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington 108: 254–265.

Depth ranges as reported with the original description (Vázquez-Bader and Gracia 1995a: 260, 263) do not precisely concur; we here combine that information to interpret an overall depth range; in the same account, it is at one point (p. 254) reported that P. octodentata Rathbun, 1906 occurs in the Gulf of Mexico but later (p. 263) argued to the contrary; it is our interpretation that no records of P. octodentata can be presently confirmed within the Gulf of Mexico, even though its range is not in fact restricted to the Lesser Antilles; Soto (1986) accurately summarizes records of the latter species from Cuba and the Florida Straits, immediately to the east our defined Gulf of Mexico limits.
