Abstract

The clypeasteroid echinoid Astrodapsis bajasurensis n. sp. is described from upper middle Miocene beds of the Isidro Formation near the mouth of Arroyo Mezquital on the Pacific coast of north-central Baja California Sur, Mexico. The new species is the first occurrence of Astrodapsis outside of California and extends the southern limit of the genus by 1,100 km.
