Pleopod 1 rod-like to indistinctly bilobate in both sexes. Sympod of pleopod 4 with endite missing or reduced to weak medial hump. Basal segment occupies 56–69% total length of exopod. Endopod reduced to lobe with 12–18% sympod length; apically with one long seta and more proximally additional 4–7 shorter, barbed setae. Endopod of uropods 0.6–0.8 times length of exopod. Telson subrectangular, length 1.4–2.0 times maximum width near basis; lateral margins slightly tapering or parallel. Proximal 46–64% of lateral margins smooth, distal portion of each margin with dense, continuous series of 11–15 acute spines. Terminal margin concave, densely furnished with 15–21 apically blunt laminae.</p><p>Descriptive notes</p><p>Adult females of present material with 4.4–6.3 mm (n = 26) body length, males 3.4–6.6 mm (n = 38). Antennular trunk extends –5% up to +23% its length beyond (artificially aligned) eyes (Fig. 1A). Antennal scale 1.3–1.8 times trunk. Sympod of antenna produced into spiniform extension on outer distal corner. Thoracic endopod 8 (when stretched) reaching backwards at most to the middle of pleonite 4 and forwards to mandibles; its carpopropodus 83–94% length of merus or 29–53% of telson. Pleonites 1–5 are 0.5–0.7, 0.6–0.8, 0.6–0.8, 0.5–0.7 or 0.5–0.8 times as long as pleonite 6, respectively.

Pleopods 1–3 with a ventrolaterally directed fan of plumose setae in both sexes. Setae forming the fan of pleopod 1 larger compared to those of pleopods 2–5 in females and 2, 3, 5 in males. Male pleopod 4 (Fig. 1F) very long, exopod reaching at most to basal third of telson; its subapical seta up to the apex of telson. Endopod with apical seta 2.2–4.6 times endopod length.

Structure of foregut and nauplioid larvae essentially as in M. triangulare sp. nov. (Fig. 8A–F, N–M).</p><p>Distribution and habitat</p><p>Widely distributed, mainly in sublittoral, also in littoral waters of the West Atlantic in the range of 32° N to 24° S (Bermuda to coast near São Sebastião, Brazil), including the Caribbean (Price &amp; Heard 2004; Ortiz et al. 2017b). Masses were recorded from the surface zone of a sandy beach in Venezuela (Esteves-Astudillo et al. 2017). Distribution mostly euhaline, also found in the metahaline reach of a lagoon by Zoppi de Roa et al. (1989). The species forms swarms close to the bottom in a variety of coral reef habitats (Emery 1968; Brattegard 1969). Swarms may hover near the sea urchin Diadema antillarum Philippi, 1845, where they withdraw to the safety of the interspaces between the spines when threatened (Randall et al. 1964). They may also crowd in the nest caves of pomacentrid fish when a predator approaches (Emery 1968). The swarms disperse during the night and the individuals show homing behaviour by regrouping at the same location in the morning (Twining et al. 2000). Present records from Curaçao, Bonaire, and SE-Brazil; in swarms hovering during the daytime over the sea floor at a depth of 3–35 m, also found between corals.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D1E37CFF9DFFB14446CF36FDB1FBA0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

According to Zoppi de Roa &amp; Alonso (1997) these mysids form swarms close to the bottom of diverse coral reef and mangrove habitats, also found among spines of the sea urchin Diadema antillarum . The present data from Curaçao and SE-Brazil were recorded during the daytime at a depth of 0–35 m, on swarms mostly hovering around, between or above rock and coral blocks, also from the entrance area of a cave. Most surprising was sample C9 (Table 1) from the water edge where the mysids showed a striking green body color upon swarming above algae at a depth of only 5 cm.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D1E37CFF90FFB24785CE21FED5FDA3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Antennular trunk extends 25–47% its length beyond (artificially aligned) eyes. Sympod of antenna produced into spiniform extension on outer distal corner. Apical segment of maxillary palp about two times as long as basal segment. Carapace posteriorly emarginate, with well-rounded latero-terminal lobes; cervical sulcus strong. Dactylus of thoracic endopods 1–2 with moderately long, strong claw; dactylus 3–7 with long, needle-like claw; dactylus 8 with short seta-like claw. Sympod of fourth male pleopod with 3–4 plumose setae (this range wider in non-types examined) on rostral face plus 1–2 small, barbed setae on inner margin.

Numbers of serrated setae (Fig. 9C–D) along the merus of thoracic endopod 3 increase with increasing body size; also numbers of endopods with any setae of that type increase with body size, i.e., pertaining only to thoracopod 3 in smaller individuals and successively to thoracopods 4–7 as individuals become larger. Endopod 8 (when stretched) reaching backwards at most to the end of pleonite 4 and forwards to mandibles; its carpopropodus measures 0.4–0.5 times telson length. Male pleopod 4 comparatively short; exopod reaching at most to basal third of pleonite 6, its subapical seta up to terminal third. Endopod of male pleopod 4 (Fig. 9H) with the most distal seta 1.4–4.4 times endopod length. Sympod with field of scales on its endite. Statoliths composed of fluorite.</p><p>Foregut (Fig. 13E–G) closely similar to that of M. antillarum sp. nov. (Fig. 11A–E). As main differences from this species, M. columbiae shows different structure and variable numbers of large spines: on each lateral half there are 2–4 apically pronged spines on posterior part of lateralia, the teeth of these spines with dense sets of secondary denticles (Fig. 13F); and there are 1–2 larger, apically pronged, serrated spines on dorso-lateral infolding, the latter spines flatter, more clavate, and with more slender teeth on basal ¾ (Fig. 13G).</p><p>Notes on individual development</p><p>Nauplioid larvae (Fig. 13H) with smooth cuticle all around, except for a pair of minute furcal processes and a number of minute setae on the blunt end of the abdomen (Fig. 13J). Davis (1966: fig. 4) already reported apical, furcal ‘spines’ in nauplioids of M. columbiae from Jamaica. In non-types of the present material, the differentiation of male sexual characteristics is visible in early subadults as small rudiments of penis and appendix masculina and of a bifid fourth pleopod. At this stage the exopod of pleopod 4 is less than 3/2 as long as endopod and the endite of the sympod is missing or indistinct. In the course of further development a distinct endite (representing an important diagnostic character) becomes visible as soon as the exopod exceeds two times the length of the endopod.</p><p>Distribution and habitat</p><p>From 24° N to 8° S in coastal waters of Bahamas, Caribbean, southern Gulf of Mexico, and Brazil (Price &amp; Heard 2004; Miyashita &amp; Calliari 2014). The present samples from Curaçao and Bonaire fit within this geographic range. The present material was encountered at a depth of 3–26 m, during daytime in swarms hovering around and between corals. During the night dispersed over the sea floor.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D1E37CFF82FFA44713C928FA86F9B3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
