Synalpheus cf. apioceros Coutière, 1909 View in CoL

Material examined (N=1). 1m, 07/VIII/2005, St. 0 7 ( MZUESC #708).

Distribution. Western Atlantic – southern Florida to Surinam, western Gulf of Mexico, and Brazil (Amapá, and from Espírito Santo to Santa Catarina) ( Chace 1972; Christoffersen 1998). Brazil – Seamounts of the North Chain, Ceará, Paraíba, and Pernambuco ( Coelho Filho 2006).

Ecological notes. Seagrass flats, coral terraces, under rocks, in crevices of coral rubble, also among growth on ships and shipwrecks ( Chace 1972).

Previous records in Bahia. None.

Remarks. Species complex, with at least two species in the western Atlantic (A. Anker, personal communication). The true identity of the Brazilian species is presently unknown. Bullis & Thompson (1965) and Christoffersen (1980) reported S. apioceros from Pará and Amapá, respectively, and Carvalho et al. (1998) recorded it also from Pernambuco. This species was also present at several collection stations of the REVIZEE Program along the outer continental shelf of northeast Brazil, from the Seamounts of the North Chain to Pernambuco ( Coelho Filho 2006).
