P6REZ FARFANTE: ROCK SHRIMP GENUS SICYONIA 



Laboratory, National Marine Fisheries Service, 

 also have read the manuscript and made helpful 

 comments. I acknowledge their assistance with 

 deep appreciation. I am deeply grateful to Matilde 

 Mendez G., Instituto del Mar del Peru, and to Con- 

 cepcion Rodriguez de la Cruz, Instituto de Pesca, 

 Mexico, for the loan of specimens and for invalu- 

 able information concerning materials deposited 

 in their respective institutions. Thanks are also 

 extended to Meredith L. Jones, Smithsonian In- 

 stitution, whose interest and efforts facilitated my 

 field work in Panama; and for making available 

 critical bibliographic references to Lipke B. 

 Holthuis, Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, 

 Leiden; Alexander Dragovich, Southeast 

 Fisheries Center, National Marine Fisheries Ser- 

 vice; and to Michel E. Hendrickx, Instituto de 

 Ciencias del Mar y Limnologia, Estacion Maza- 

 tlan, Mexico. 



I wish to thank Billy B. Boothe, Jr., who sorted 

 and identified the Sicynnia that had been collected 

 among large quantities of penaeoids from the re- 

 gion under investigation and assisted me with the 

 morphometric work. Joseph L. Russo, formerly of 

 the NMFS Systematics Laboratory, helped with 

 statistical analyses and computer work, and Ruth 

 Gibbons also assisted in the analyses and prepared 

 the graphs and distribution maps. Maria M. 

 Dieguez applied her artistic talent to the prepara- 

 tion of all of the illustrations except Figures 3, 4, 

 and 7 which were ably rendered by Keiko H. 

 Moore. Finally, I also acknowledge with gratitude 

 the assistance of Arleen S. McClain and Virginia 

 R. Thomas, who patiently typed several drafts of 

 the manuscript.
