Remark

The taxonomy of A. normanni and A. packardii remains unsettled due to the presence of cryptic taxa on both sides of the Americas (see Soledade & Almeida 2013). Alpheus normanni is now considered as an EP species (see Kim & Abele 1988; Felder et al. 2009: note 57). According to A. Anker (pers. com., Mar. 2024), the A. packardii complex is still under revision, including no less than a dozen species.
