The non-indigenous bryozoan Amathia verticillata (delle Chiaje, 1822) is recorded for the first time from the southern Mexican Pacific. The species was detected between 2014 and 2018 at three locations along the coast of Oaxaca, southwestern Mexico: Puerto Ángel Bay, Santa Cruz Bay, and La Blanca Island. A discussion on the introduction of the species to Oaxaca is also included.
