Pseudopaguristes calliopsis (Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1968)

Paguristes calliopsis – Melo 1999: 74, Guianas [in distribution, with map (Fig. 27), including Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana].

Pseudopaguristes calliopsis – Nucci & Melo 2015: 343, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana. — Mantelatto et al. 2021: 582, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana. In distribution only for these two references; probably from Guianas in Melo (1999) (see Remark).

Distribution/Habitat

WA; marine; 1– 160 m.

Remark

It is not clear why Melo (1999) reported this species from “Guianas” in distribution, citing: “Atlântico ocidental-Guianas e Brasil (do Ceará até São Paulo)”. We failed to find references earlier than Melo (1999) for this region. For example, only Brazil (Bahia) is indicated in Coelho & Ramos (1972: 167) and Coelho & Ramos-Porto (1987a: 48). The presence of this species in the sGuianas needs to be better documented.
