Abstract

The geographic range of Sanopus reticulatus Collette, 1983 in the Yucatán Peninsula is extended about 75 km southwest to Celestún and about 200 km to Las Coloradas. During the periods of algal blooms in Telchac and Las Coloradas and specific sampling in Celestún, Yucatán, on August 14 and September 26 and 27, 2015, 10 specimens were collected, proving that this species has a distribution all along the Yucatán state coast.
