New record of the starfish Narcissia ahearnae (Echinodermata: Asteroidea) in the Mexican Caribbean

Narcissia ahearnae is a starfish found on hard substrates with a thin surface of fine sediment. This species has been collected in Florida and The Bahamas at depths of 53–135 m. This paper presents a new record of this species for the Mexican Caribbean (23°17’04” N, 87°57’04” W), on the northern coast of Quintana Roo, which extends its distribution range to its southernmost limit. A bathymetric range extension is also presented.
