- Abstract
Twelve species of hermit crabs were identified from material recollected in Chamela Bay, Jalisco. The family Diogenidae was the best represented with 7 species. Nine species represent new records for Chamela Bay and 2 species of the genus Paguristes were found to be undescribed. We found an association of hermit crabs with shells used as home in 29 gastropods; the commonest shells used were Cantharus sanguinolentus (Duclos, 1833) and Mancinella speciosa (Valenciennes, 1832).
