Abstract (en):
Galatheidae and Chirostylidae are two of the most diverse and abundant families of decapod crustaceans, besides penaeid shrimps. These families contain 869 species around the world and live from shallow waters (less common), marine bottoms on continental slopes (more common), to hydrothermal vents and abyssal plains at 5000 m depth. Eleven genera and 161 species from the Neotropic, and eight genera and 43 species from Colombian waters have been recorded. Currently we have few taxonomic and systematic studies on these groups in spite of their ecological importance due the species richness and abundance. The main goal of this paper is to compile the most important bibliographic information from galatheids and chyrostilids from the neotropical region, including local and regional data, synonymies and current information. This compilation was made from papers and other regional publications and also with the material revision from several international museums, including the Museo de Historia Natural Marina de Colombia. Results show that the majority of species from Neotropic waters (67 species) are distributed in Florida, Central America, Caribbean insular territories and Colombia; 20 species are Neotropical-wide, 12 are restricted to insular territories and three to Central America. The remaining 46 species show a discontinuous distribution throughout the area.
Abstract (es):
Los Galatheidae y Chirostylidae son dos de las familias más diversas y abundantes dentro del grupo de los crustáceos decápodos, después de los camarones. Estas familias están representadas por 869 especies en todo el mundo y habitan desde las zonas litorales (menos comunes) y los fondos marinos de plataforma y talud continentales (los más frecuentes) hasta las fosas hidrotermales y llanuras abisales a más de 5000 m de profundidad. En el neotrópico se han registrado once géneros y 161 especies, y en Colombia ocho géneros con 43 especies. A pesar de su importancia ecológica dada por su riqueza de especies y abundancia, son escasos los estudios taxonómicos y sistemáticos en el grupo a nivel regional. Con este trabajo se compila la información bibliográfica más relevante referente a los galatéideos y chirostílidos del Neotrópico, la cual incluye datos de localidades tanto a nivel regional como local, sinonimias y bibliografía actualizada del grupo. Esta compilación resultó de la consulta de publicaciones y trabajos regionales y la revisión del material depositado en varios museos a nivel mundial incluyendo el Museo de Historia Natural Marina de Colombia. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la mayoría de las especies del neotrópico (67 especies), se encuentran distribuidas en los territorios de la Florida, Centroamérica, los territorios insulares del mar Caribe y Colombia, 20 especies están a todo lo largo del Atlántico neotropical, 12 están restringidas a los territorios insulares y tres a Centroamérica, las restantes 46 especies muestran una distribución discontinua en el área.
