Alpheus saulcyi View in CoL var. brevicarpus Herrick, 1891: 384 (? part.); pl. 4, figs. 1–3; pl. 21, figs. 1–4, 8, 9; pl. 22, figs. 1, 2, 4–10, 12–16; pl. 23, figs. 1–8; pl. 24, figs. 1, 3.

Material examined. 1 ni, 07.III.2008, Santa Cruz Cabrália, mouth of João de Tiba River (sandstone reef), MZUESC 1153.

Distribution. Western Atlantic—Bermuda, Florida, Bahamas, West Indies, Panama and Brazil (Ceará to Rio Grande do Sul) ( Christoffersen 1979, 1998; Bezerra & Coelho 2006). The Eastern Pacific records correspond to S. digueti Coutière, 1909 (which also corresponds to multiple species) (A. Anker, pers. comm.).

Ecological notes. The single Bahian specimen was collected on a sandstone reef, under a rock covered with hydrozoans and algae, at a salinity of 36 psu.

Previous records. R/V Calypso (St. 84 and 89) ( Christoffersen 1979, as Synalpheus brevicarpus ).

Remarks. Synalpheus brevicarpus is a transisthmian species complex, which includes S. brevicarpus sensu Herrick, 1891 , S. brevicarpus guerini Coutière, 1909 , S. digueti Coutière, 1909 , as well as several undescribed species (A. Anker, in study).
