Abstract
    A new species of the genus Anamixis Stebbing, 1897 is herein described. The material was obtained from a collector of puerulus larvae of spiny lobsters, anchored at Punta Coyote, Gulf of California, Mexico. The new species differs from the others, by the head with eyes devoid of ommatidia; keel subquadrate; maxilliped inner plates almost fused; accessory flagellum of one tiny article; coxa 1 vestigial a bifid anteroventrally and distal part of propodus of pereopods 3–7 bearing an unusual small fissure. The new species is the 24th known species, the third record in the genus from North American Pacific, as well as the first record of the genus for Mexican Pacific.
