Abstract

The known geographic distribution of two reef fish species of Indo-Pacific affinity is increased: Acanthurus nigricans and Cantherhines dumerilii. These species are reported for the first time from the Acapulco coast, México. Collection data, and morphometric and meristic characteristics of the studied specimens are presented.
