What is Free-living marine planktonic unarmoured dinoflagellates from the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Pacific about?

## Abstract The so-called unarmoured dinoflagellates are not a “natural” (phylogenetic) group but they lack thecal plates, share fragility and possess relatively few morphological characters that can be positively identified. This study depicts the species composition of unarmoured dinoflagellates collected from sites along the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Pacific and includes their descriptions and illustrations. We identified a total of 25 species belonging to 13 genera and six families that were studied through various techniques using light and scanning electron microscopy. Seven new records for the Mexican Pacific are annotated here that include __Amphidinium flagelans__ Schiller, __Gyrodinium cochlea__ Lebour, __G__. __glaebum__ Hulburt, __G__. __metum__ Hulburt, __Karenia selliformis Haywood, Steidinger et MacKenzie__, __Karlodinium ballantinum de Salas,__ and __K__. __veneficum (Ballantine) Larsen__. The genera __Karenia__ and __Karlodinium__ belong to the family Kareniaceae, characterised for encompassing the largest number of toxic species among the unarmoured dinoflagellates, and many species produce algal blooms around the world. __Ceratoperidinium falca
