Abstract: | This paper reports new distribution records of large branchiopods for Mexico following a three year survey of the Baja California
peninsula. The occurance of the anostracans Thamnocephalus mexicanus (Linder, 1941) and T. platyurus (Packard, 1877), the
notostracan Lepidurus lemmoni (Holmes, 1894), and the spinicaudatans Eulimnadia cylindrova (Belk, 1989) and E. texana (Packard,1871),
all represent the first records for the peninsula. An undescribed species of the anostracan genus Streptocephalus is recorded
from the state of Baja California (Norte). The occurrence of the notostracan genus Triops and four other anostracan species
on the peninsula is also confirmed. The conchostracan Cyclestheria hislopi (Baird, 1859) is recorded from the state of Quintana
Roo. The collections of Lepidurus and Cyclestheria are the first records for México. These records increase the number of
species of large branchiopods reported fromMéxico to 36: 20 Anostraca, 3 Notostraca, 11 Spinicaudata, and 2Laevicaudata.
