Abstract Specimens of lophogastrids were collected off Chile, including four first records: Ceratolepis hamata G.O. Sars, 1883 in the vicinity of Easter Island, Eucopia unguiculata (Willemoës-Suhm, 1875) the Juan Fernández Archipelago, Gnathophausia zoea Willemoës-Suhm, 1873 off Concepción, and Neognathophausia ingens (Dohrn, 1870) off Valparaíso. Additional records were also obtained for Chile for four species: Eucopia australis Dana, 1852, Eucopia grimaldii Nouvel, 1942, Fagegnathophausia gracilis (Willemoës-Suhm, 1875), and Paralophogaster sp. Based on these records, lophogastrids are now represented off Chile, in the southeastern Pacific, by nine species.

Abstract The offshore mysid Neobirsteiniamysis inermis (Willemoes-Suhm, 1874) is reported for the first time in western Mexico. A large series of specimens (168 specimens: 44 males, 124 females) was obtained from samples taken with a large benthic sled in as many as 28 localities distributed off the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula (15), in the Gulf of California (11), and off SW Mexico (2). Only one ovigerous female was collected. A complete description of the material, based on a mature specimen, is provided, including SEM images of the mandibles, which are described in detail, and of the eyes.
