Lysmata wurdemanni (Gibbes, 1850)

(Figures 2C–D)

Hippolyte Wurdemanni Gibbes, 1850: 197 .

Material examined. Brazil, São Paulo: 2 ind, CCDB 6258, Ubatuba offshore (35 m), coll. D. Rosa, 5-14.ix.2011 ; 1 ind, CCDB 5510, Enseada de Ubatuba, Ubatuba, coll. F. Mantelatto et al., 30.xi.2014 .

Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA (Long Island, New York to southeast Florida; Key West, Florida; Florida Bay; west coast of Florida to Panhandle; Galveston and Port Aransas, Texas), possibly also in northern Caribbean (needs confirmation), Brazil (São Paulo) (Rhyne & Lin 2006, present study).

Previous records. None, see remarks.

Remarks. Rhyne & Lin (2006) revised the L. wurdemanni complex and described four new species; they cited that previous records of L. wurdemanni from Brazil (e.g., Chace 1972; Williams 1984; Christoffersen 1998) might refer to L. ankeri or L. bahia . We collected three individuals of L. wurdemanni from Ubatuba and our DNA sequences matched with the sequences of L. wurdemanni used in previous studies (Baeza et al. 2009; Rhyne et al. 2009; Fiedler et al. 2010; Figure 3), confirming our morphological identification (see discussion section for more detailed approach). Sequences accession number (GenBank): CCDB 5510 - 16S (KU312984), COI (KU313012).
