Macrobrachium iheringi ( Ortmann, 1897)

( Figs. 4C , 5 )

Material examined. Brazil, Minas Gerais: 1♂, 1♀, 2 juveniles, CCDB 3296 , mata do Baú, Barroso , 21°12’24.37”S, 43°55’44.17”W, coll. V. Barrile; I. Caroline & L. Proença. 24.VII.2010 .

Distribution. Brazil (Goiás, Mato Grosso, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Paraná) ( Holthuis 1952; Ramos-Porto & Coelho 1998; Fransozo et al. 2004; Sampaio et al., 2009; Pileggi et al. 2013).

Previous records in Minas Gerais. Mata do Baú, Barroso (see material examined) ( Pileggi et al. 2013).

Remarks. Macrobrachium iheringi is a species endemic to Brazil found in cold continental waters ( Fransozo et al. 2004). The occurrences of this species in the Brazilian states of Goiás and Mato Grosso could not be confirmed as they were mentioned in compilation papers ( Ramos-Porto & Coelho 1998; Melo 2003), but no documented record was cited in those publications. Other occurrences from the states of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro were mentioned in an academic thesis by Gomes-Corrêa (1977), but not confirmed due the absence of a voucher specimen being deposited in the accessed collections.
