Abstract
Range extensions are given for Pinnixa valerii, from Estero El Verde, Sinaloa, to Bahía Lobos, Sonora, and for Pinnotheres margarita, from Guaymas, Sonora, to Bahía Kino, Sonora. Argopecten circularis is recorded as a new host for P. margarita, and some morphological variants are described for the crab.
