Seventeen new records of planktonic dinoflagellates for the Gulf of Tehuantepec arepresented. From these, the Dinophysiales Histioneis costata, and Dinophysis expulsa are new records for the Mexican Pacific. All but one species, Gonyaulax milneri (first description) were documented with photographic images. The first image of Histioneis pieltainii is recorded in this work. General distribution of these taxa is mainly in subtropical and tropical waters.
