Abstract
Two species of the Emmelichthyidae family, Emmelichthys ruber and Erythrocles monodi, have been recorded in the western Atlantic. The species E. monodi is reported for the first time in Mexican waters, based on a specimen of 403 mm standard length, captured south of Veracruz, which corresponds to the first record of the family in Mexico and its southwestern distribution range of the Gulf of Mexico.
