Distribution. Presently known only along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
Remarks. Callianidea mariamartae n. sp., and C. laevicauda from Caribbean Sea share some similarities i.e. very short linea thalassinica and maxilliped 3 with an acute spine on internal margin of the merus (between others morphological characters). However, the new species differs from C. laevicauda , among other aspects, in having (1) lateral margin of carapace with a distinct hepatic groove; (2) anterolateral carapace without vertical row of specialized setae in postantennal area; (3) seta on posterior lobe of maxilla about half length of scaphognathite (4) Mxp2 with acute spines on distal region of palp; (5) accessory respiratory filaments unsegmented; (6) outer uropodal ramus with strong longitudinal carinae ( C. laevicauda see Kensley & Heard 1991; p. 501–502; Fig. 3A, C; 4A, F, I). Callianidea mariamartae n. sp. differs from C typa from Indo Pacific region in having a linea thalassinica very short and pleopods filaments unsegmented. Callianidea typa is characterized by lacking any sign of a linea thalassinica and the presence of cylindrical pleopodal filaments with a constriction near the midpoint ( C. typa see Sakai 1992; p. 13, 15; Fig. 3A, 5H and Poore 1997; p. 350; Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 A).
