Endopod furnished with cuspidate setae along distomesial margin, plumose setae absent, appendix interna absent. Second pleopod exopod shorter than endopod, fringed with plumose setae. Endopod elongated, straight, modified into gonopod, apex rounded, dorsomesial region with 3 rows of cuspidate setae, mesial row with longer setae, starting at level with the appendix interna and almost reaching apex of endopod, dorsal rows shorter, restricted to the distal half of endopod, not reaching mesial row distally, blocking exopod mesially, appendix interna developed, appendix masculina absent. Third to fifth pleopods protopodites furnished with few long setae on lateral margin. Endopod shorter than exopod, both fringed with plumose setae, appendix interna present on all pleopods, not reaching tip of endopod ( Figs. 29A–F View FIGURE 29 , 30 View FIGURE 30 ).

Female first and second pleopod endopods similar in length with exopods, margins smooth or fringed with fewer plumose setae than exopod, appendix interna absent. Third to fifth pleopod protopodites furnished with few long setae on lateral margins. Endopods shorter than exopods, both fringed with plumose setae, appendix interna present on all pleopods, not reaching tip of endopod ( Fig. 29G–K View FIGURE 29 ).

Uropod broad. Protopodite with well-developed lateral process, at least twice as long as mesial process, curving mesially, furnished distodorsally with transverse row of long simple setae, distomesial angle produced into triangular tooth. Endopod narrower than exopod, fringed with long, annulate, plumose setae, distolateral margin with few long simple setae. Exopod fringed with long, annulate, plumose setae, distal margin somewhat truncated, straight, with cluster of few long simple setae on distolateral margin, diaeresis incomplete, with 5 to 11 cuspidate setae, growing in size towards mesial margin, increasing in number with age ( Fig. 24J View FIGURE 24 ).

Remarks. Euryrhynchus burchelli can be easily separated from all species of Euryrhynchus by the armature of the second pereopod (carpus with spine on distomesial angle and merus with pair of spines on distoventral angles) ( Fig. 25D View FIGURE25 ). It is also the only species in the family without fine granules on the second pereopod ( Figs. 25 View FIGURE25 , 26 View FIGURE 26 ). Some of the examined specimens presented a series of asymmetrical abnormalities, including the distribution of cuspidate setae on third to fifth pereopods dactyli and propodi, telson and uropodal diaeresis ( Fig. 28A–C, E–J View FIGURE 28 [arrows]), the number of spines on the second pereopod merus ( Fig. 28D View FIGURE 28 ), and a male with a gonopod on the left third pleopod (MZUSP 34207). Holthuis (1966) reported specimens of E. burchelli from Lago Jari (Amazonas, Brazil), which were later correctly reidentified as E. amazoniensis by Tiefenbacher (1978). Euryrhynchus amazoniensis was misinterpreted by Holthuis (1966) as E. burchelli on the account of an acute distoventral projection on the second pereopod merus (cf. Holthuis 1966: 10, fig. 2k). However, that spine differs in shape and position from the one typically found in E. burchelli (cf. Fig. 25D View FIGURE25 ), thus suggesting that it might represent an aberrant specimen (see examples of aberrant specimens in Fig. 28 View FIGURE 28 ). Although Holthuis’ (1966) material was not examined in the present study, the specimen illustrated by the author indeed presents typical key characters of E. amazoniensis and might well belong to E. amazoniensis . These characters include uropodal protopodite with distomesial angle of lateral process not produced into a tooth (compare Figs. 11E, F View FIGURE 11 , 24J View FIGURE 24 ; Holthuis 1966: fig. 2b), presence of fine granules on the second pereopod (visible on merus of fig. 2k in Holthuis 1966), and armature of carpus and merus of the second pereopod (compare Figs. 14C View FIGURE 14 , 25D View FIGURE25 ; Holthuis, 1966: fig. 2k).

As currently understood Euryrhynchus burchelli occurs exclusively in the Brazilian Amazon basin ( Fig. 63B View FIGURE 63 ). Coelho & Ramos-Porto (1985: tab 1) listed E. burchelli from both the Paraná basin ( Brazil) and the Guianas, but mentioned no voucher specimens to support their records, as no further material has come to light from these regions, these records are herein considered erroneous. Vieira (2003) reported E. burchelli for the first time from Amapá ( Brazil), but provided no illustrations nor deposited voucher specimens. Taking into account that E. tomasi , a species described a few years later, is also known Amapá ( Fig. 65A View FIGURE 65 , green circles, location 4), reexamination of Vieira's specimens is desirable. It is also worth noting that Euryrhynchus burchelli and E. tomasi are similar to each other, differing mainly in the armature of the second pereopod carpus. Pimentel & Magalhães (2014) also reported three lots of E. burchelli from Amapá (INPA 1082; IEPA 0 0 27, 0050) based upon specimens identified in 2002 (as per the label in the jar of lot INPA 1082). And indeed, reexamination of the lot INPA 1082 revealed that the specimens in this lot actually belong to E. tomasi . Unfortunately, the lots from Amapá (IEPA 0 0 27, 0050) no longer exist in the IEPA collections and thus were not examined.
