Abstract
The tropical American family Bateidae Stebbing, 1906 is only composed by the genus Batea Müller, 1865. This genus includes 14 species of which 7 are distributed in the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, Brazil and the Northwestern Atlantic. The rest 6 are distributed in the Pacific, mainly in Baja California and the Gulf of California. Only B. catharinensis Müller, 1865, has a distribution on both sides of America. These amphipods are easily recognized due to their peculiar degraded gnathopod 1 that is hidden by coxa 2. A new species of Batea collected in the Gulf of California is described and fully illustrated. For the first time, a dichotomous key is provided for the classification of the now 15 known species. A chronologically ordered table with the authors and years of the main papers published related to the general distribution of these species is also presented.
期刊介绍：
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
