One genus and six new species of ostracodes are described from the Bateque Formation on the Pacific Coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico. Planktonic foraminifers indicate a mid Eocene age and the whole assemblage is characteristic of a shallow warm-water environment. Paijenborchella mezquitalensis sp. nov. is the second record of the genus Paijenborchella from the Eocene of North America. Except for this species and the new genus Bajacythere, the ostracode association has strong affinities with those described from the lower Tertiary Gulf Coast region.
