Abstract

Borboropora pseudoquadriceps Delgado & Santiago-Jiménez, sp. nov., and B. mixe Delgado & Santiago-Jiménez, sp. nov., are described and illustrated. Both species represent the first record of the genus from Mexico. Diagnostic characters of this genus are discussed. A key to the New World species of this genus is also included.
