          Abstract

          Se registra por primera vez para la familia Porcellanidae la ocurrencia de la condición de intersexo en ejemplares de Porcellana platycheles. Los individuos intersexo fueron identificados por la presencia simultánea de aberturas genitales en las coxas de los terceros y quintos pereiópodos, así como también por las características morfológicas del abdomen y de los pleópodos. La baja tasa de esta condición, indica que se debería más bien a variaciones genéticas de la población, que a otras causas de intersexualidad previamente descritas para otros decápodos.

          Translated abstract

          This paper reports the first record of intersexuality from Porcellana platycheles, a member of the family Porcellanidae. Intersex individuals were identified by the presence of both pairs of genital openings on the coxae of the third and fifth pereiopods respectively, and by morphological characteristics of the abdomen and pleopods. The low occurrence of this condition suggests that intersexuality is due to genetic variations in the population rather than other possible causes of intersexuality previously reported in other decapods.
