Resumen

Se presenta una lista actualizada de los anfípodos bentónicos asociados a fondos suaves en el SO del Golfo de México y las áreas de endemismo reconocidas. Los anfípodos fueron colectados en un intervalo de profundidad de los 25 a 3700 m en seis cruceros oceanográficos de 1994 a 1999. Un total de 56 especies fueron identificadas, 11 pertenecientes al suborden Caprellidea y 45 al suborden Gammaridea. Trece especies ampliaron su distribución geográfica en el Golfo de México y cuatro especies fueron registros nuevos para el Golfo de México. Un análisis biogeográfico basado sobre las especies compartidas de acuerdo con el criterio de parsimonia ayudó a identificar tres áreas de endemismo en el sector SO del Golfo de México, nombradas como área A, un área pequeña sobre la plataforma continental de la Bahía de Campeche; área B, el talud continental de la Bahía de Campeche; y área C, del talud continental inferior de las Cordilleras Mexicanas hasta el oeste de la planicie abisal de Sigsbee. Estas áreas fueron definidas en términos de su topografía compleja que permite aislar hábitats promoviendo el endemismo.
