Rem.: For Suarez-Morales & Almeyda-Artigas (2016, p.308) the new species is the firsrt member of the genus described from the Atlantic Ocean. Based on the zoogeography analysis (see Moon & al., 2010), it is clear that the genus Bestiolina had its radiation core in the Indo-Malaysian region.
The specimens examined were identified as Bestiolina because of the lack of serration on the outer margins of the 2nd and 3rd exopodal segments of P2-P4, a reduced female P5 represented by a pair of simple lobes and an asymmetrical male P5 with the left ramus as in female, with a rounded lobe and a long, 5-segmented left leg furnished with a short apical spiniform process and a relatively long, slender spine.
When running the identification key (Moon & al., 2010), B. mexicana down to the couplet B. zeylonica/B. sinica regarding the presence or absence of spinules on the exopodal segments 1-3 of P2; the new species has spinules on the 1st segment only, so far a unique character among the known species of the genus. The new species can be readily distinguished from B. similis by the structure of the rostrum, which has long, slender rostral filaments, thus contrasting with the relatively strong, stout rostral projections of the new species. The new species has some reductions in the armature of A1 and interesting apomorphies like the supernumerary teeth on the gnathal blade but also a reduced set of ornamentation on P2-P4, which contrast with the regular dentition and the richer spinulation patterns found in the Asian species.
The finding of B. mexicana strengthens the notion that Asian coastal/estuarine forms had successful interoceanic dispersal processes and were able to colonize the Northwestern Atlantic as a result of pre-Pliocene conditions.
