Aristiidae Lowry and Stoddart, 1997 View in CoL

The family Aristiidae was represented by the genera Aristias Boeck , Boca Lowry and Stoddart and Perrierella Chevreux and Bouvier , with the addition of Miramarassa Ortiz, Lalana and Lio. Later, Lowry (2006) established the family Miramarassidae (monogeneric and monospecific) to include the species M. sanchezi Ortiz, Lalana and Lio, 1999 , now endemic to Cuban waters. Three species of the genus Boca have been described up to the present: B. campi Lowry and Stoddart, 1997 , B. elvae Lowry and Stoddart, 1997 and B. megachela Lowry and Stoddart, 1997 , all collected in Florida waters. The description of the species Boca normae n. sp. increases the number of species of the genus to four.
