This checklist is the fifth and last compilation on the decapod crustaceans reported to São Paulo (Brazil) coastal area, resulting from long-term multidisciplinary projects, which combined morphological analyses and molecular techniques. The current research includes 75 decapod species, herein referred as shrimps/lobsters-like (shrimps, ghost-shrimps, lobsters, and related groups), reported to São Paulo coastal area. These species occur in marine, estuarine, and amphidromous habitats and are classified into 21 families as follow: Aristeidae (2 spp., 2 genera), Atyidae (4 spp., 2 genera), Axianassidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Callianassidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Callichiridae (6 spp., 4 genera), Crangonidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Glyphocrangonidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Luciferidae (2 spp., 2 genera), Nephropidae (4 spp., 2 genera), Palaemonidae (15 spp., 9 genera), Palinuridae (2 spp., 1 genus), Pandalidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Pasiphaeidae (1 sp., 1 genus), Penaeidae (10 spp., 6 genera), Sergestidae (3 spp., 3 genera), Sicyoniidae (4 spp., 1 genus), Scyllaridae (5 spp., 3 genera), Solenoceridae (4 spp., 3 genera), Stenopodidae (2 spp., 1 genus), and Upogebiidae (6 spp., 1 genus). We generated new sequences of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (barcode region) and 16S genes (51 and 54, respectively) of 54 species. Our examination concluded that 75 shrimps/lobsters-like species are reported to the São Paulo coast. We excluded Leander tenuicornis (Palaemonidae), Penaeus setiferus (Penaeidae), Philocheras gorei (Crangonidae), and Rhynchocinetes typus (Rhynchocinetidae) from this list.
... Alpheus genus shrimps could create holes in dead coral heads, in order to expand their living niche, leading to the escalation of Alpheus's abundance (Santos et al 2012). Some researchers stated that Alpheus genus, which is primarily composed of crustaceans, has an essential contribution to the marine ecosystems, being of a wide variety and abundance, through the Caridean shrimps (Anker et al 2016;Madduppa et al 2019;McKeon et al 2012;Soledade et al 2015). They spread in shallow waters at low and medium depths, especially in the Western Indo-Pacific zone. ...
Coral reefs are widely known as essential ecosystems that hold various marine organisms, including various crypto-organisms. Cryptofauna, which live among the interstices of coral reefs, significantly escalates the coral reef biodiversity. The complexity of the reef-building corals' niche could shape the shrimp community structure. This research aims to examine the shrimp diversity and to analyze the shrimp communities on different coral growth structures in Tidung Island, Seribu Islands. The dead coral heads were collected using the timed swim method and the cryptofauna was collected by shattering the dead coral heads. Each species of cryptofauna was photographed and identified. The shrimp community structure was calculated using the multivariate statistic. A total of 165 obligate coral-dwelling shrimps specimens of 30 species belonging to seven families were found. During this study, most of the organisms discovered were from the Alpheidae and Hippolytidae families, who contributed to the relative abundance with up to 34.55 and 30.91%, respectively. The multivariate analysis using non-Metric Dimensional Scaling (nMDS) highlighted three clustering habitat locations between the study sites and the coral growth forms, based on the shrimp abundance. Alpheus pasificus predominantly contributed to the community of the arborescent coral type (in the Tidung Besar coastal zone) and to the corymbose coral type (in the Tidung Kecil coastal zone). Local environmental conditions, such as the food resources, predation threat and coral presence (hosting an associate fauna) are presumed to be important factors affecting the coral-dwelling shrimps.

A new species of the alpheid shrimp genus Automate de Man, 1888, A. awaji, is described on the basis of an ovigerous female holotype and three paratype specimens (sex not determined) from Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The specimens were collected from soft sediments on a shallow subtidal flat (depth 4-8 m) using an airlift suction sampler. The new species is referred to the A. evermanni Rathbun, 1901 species group, in which seven species are currently included, from various parts of the world. Automate awaji n. sp. is characterized by the combination of the following characters: eye with cornea relatively small, in lateral and subdistal position on eyestalk; antennal scaphocerite with distolateral spine not exceeding rounded distal blade; ultimate article of maxilliped 3 with longitudinal row of setae on dorsolateral surface; cheliped ischia without spiniform setae on dorsal and ventral margins; major chela of type I smooth, not rugose or tuberculate on dorsal and ventral margins, fingers not gaping; carpus of pereopod 2 with proximal-most article less than half-length of second article; propodus of pereopod 5 with grooming apparatus consisting of closely spaced transverse rows of stiff setae. It is the fourth representative of the genus Automate reported from Japan. A brief overview on Japanese species of Automate is also given.

This study is part of a series of checklists resulting from a long-term multidisciplinary project on the biodiversity of decapod crustaceans from the marine and coastal environments (including estuaries) of São Paulo State (Brazil). For that, we integrated molecular techniques (mitochondrial DNA markers) and morphological analyses of adult specimens for an accurate and detailed identification. The DNA markers were used when the morphological identification was doubtful, particularly in the recognition of cryptic species. This second manuscript presents a checklist of the Alpheidae caridean shrimps from the coast of São Paulo. We report the occurrence of Alpheus cf. paracrinitus and Synalpheus townsendi for the first time in the region. Based on our survey, 39 species of Alpheidae are known for this region: Alpheus (21 spp.), Athanas (2 spp.), Automate (2 spp.), Leptalpheus (1 spp.), Salmoneus (3 spp.), and Synalpheus (10 spp.). We collected 28 species and obtained cytochrome oxidase subunit I (barcode region) and/or 16S partial sequences of 26 of them. These sequences may be used for phylogenetic and populational analyses in further studies.
... In contrast, the use of scientific scuba diving to study decapods is an important addition to complement the traditional methodologies employed; it can be used for creating a decapod checklist and generally represents an important tool to study and monitor decapod assemblages in reef environments (Giraldes et al., 2012(Giraldes et al., , 2015. During the last decade, an increasing number of studies in Brazil with decapods were made using scuba diving (Bouzon & Freire, 2007;Alves et al., 2012;Giraldes et al., 2015;Soledade et al., 2015). ...
Hermit crabs are common and abundant members of the intertidal community and in sublittoral bottoms, where they play a fundamental role in the trophic chain. This study aimed to determine the composition of the hermit crab fauna, to quantify the density in the natural environment, and to register shells use by main species from subtidal boulder fields, in an island off the southeastern Brazilian coast. Monthly samples were taken from March 2010 to February 2011 on boulder fields on Couves Island, Ubatuba, Brazil, during scuba diving daytime sessions. Three hundred and eighty-three crabs were collected by hand, in a quadrat of 20 m 2 belonging to five species: Calcinus tibicen, Dardanus venosus, Pagurus brevidactylus, Paguristes tortugae, and Petrochirus diogenes. The highest densities were recorded for P. brevidactylus and P. tortugae. Hermit crabs occupied shells of 15 gastropod species. Cerithium atratum, Gemophos auritulus, and Morula nodulosa comprised more than 80% of the occupation. The heterogeneity of boulder fields of Couves Island, composed almost entirely of small refuges and crevices, favors the exploration of hermit crab species recorded here, which are characterized by small size. These results, combined with the findings of further studies, can contribute to the development of effective monitoring programs for decapod crustacean species.
... During a survey of caridean shrimps carried out in the Abrolhos Archipelago, Bahia, Brazil, Soledade et al. (2015) registered 11 new shrimp records from this region, with some species collected in association with sponges; however, the identity of the host sponges was not elucidated at that time. Recently, the sponges were identified and we verified that some of them were never previously registered in association with two caridean shrimps that occur in the area. ...
... This species occurs from Bermuda to Espírito Santo, Brazil (De Grave and Anker, 2017) from the intertidal to 118 m (Williams, 1984). Previous reports of this species on the coast of Brazil did not provide information about its ecological relationships (Chace, 1972;Coelho and Ramos, 1972;Cardoso, 2006;Coelho et al., 2006;Soledade et al., 2015). Specimens of A. antiguensis have been observed living inside the sponges Mycale (Arenochalina) laxissima (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) and Niphates erecta (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) in Bocas del Toro, Panama, and it has been considered a facultative sponge associated species (De Grave and Anker, 2017). ...
... Typton gnathophylloides has been previously reported for the Canary Islands (Pérez Sánchez and Moreno Batet, 1991;González Pérez et al., 1995) but, according to d'Udekem d' Acoz (1999 these records need confirmation. Besides the type material, two specimens from Dry Tortugas, Florida (Holthuis, 1951), the two specimens reported here (previously cited in Soledade et al., 2015) are the only known specimens of T. gnathophylloides. It is important to highlight that A. viridis is the first host of T. gnathophylloides identified to species level. ...
The association of the caridean shrimps Anchistioides antiguensis (Schmitt, 1924) and Typton gnathophylloides Holthuis, 1951 with the sponges Dysidea janiae (Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864) and Amphimedon viridis Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864, respectively, is reported for the first time. The material was collected in coral reefs surrounding Santa Barbara Island, Abrolhos Archipelago, Bahia, Brazil. The shrimps occupied different locations inside the sponges. Previous records of associations between these carideans and other hosts were revised and the possible type of association between the shrimps and their hosts is discussed. The occurrence of the sponge A. viridis in the Abrolhos Archipelago is also reported for the first time.

The remoteness of the Trindade and Martin Vaz young volcanic archipelago (TMV) raises questions about the source of its marine benthic fauna and levels of endemism. Addressing these questions requires a comprehensive knowledge of the taxonomic composition of the marine fauna of the islands. A five-year survey in the shallow marine waters (up to 30 m) and a literature review on the data published for TMV have been conducted to document the biodiversity of the benthic fauna. Here we report on ten new records of decapod crustaceans from TMV: Gnathophyllum americanum and Thor amboinensis are circumtropical in distribution, whereas Stenopus hispidus, Gnathophylloides mineri and Parribacus antarcticus are disjunct circumtropical species as their distribution in the Atlantic Ocean is limited eastwardly to TMV or Ascension Island (S. hispidus), therefore, do not extending into the eastern Atlantic. Gnathophyllum circellum and Thor manningi are western Atlantic species, with G. circellum previously known only from the Caribbean Sea. Pontonia manningi, Tuleariocaris neglecta and Enoplometopus antillensis are amphi-Atlantic in distribution. Two of the above species are recorded from the southwestern Atlantic for the first time: Gnathophyllum circellum and Tuleariocaris neglecta. These new records corroborate that the marine benthic invertebrate fauna of the TMV archipelago is actually a mosaic of amphi-Atlantic, eastern Atlantic, central Atlantic (insular), endemic and circumtropical species, with a strong western Atlantic component.
... A list of all alpheid species presently known from the tropical southern Atlantic Ocean with their geographic distribution is provided in Table 1. The main data sources used to compile this list are as following: Caribbean Sea, Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Bermuda (Hendrix 1971;Chace 1972;Christoffersen 1979;Dardeau 1984;Williams 1984;McClure 2005;Anker 2007Anker et al. 2007aAnker et al. , 2007bAnker et al. , 2008aAnker et al. , 2008bAnker et al. , 2008cAnker et al. , 2008dAnker et al. , 2009Anker et al. 2012;Anker & De Grave 2012b;present study); Brazil, including its continental shelf and oceanic islands (Christoffersen 1979;Holthuis et al. 1980;Anker 2007;Anker et al. 2007aAnker et al. , 2007bAnker et al. , 2008aAnker et al. , 2008bAnker et al. , 2008cAnker et al. , 2008dAnker et al. , 20092010;Alves et al. 2008;Souza et al. 2011;Anker et al. 2012aAnker et al. , 2012bSantos et al. 2012;Anker & Pachelle 2013Bracken-Grissom & Felder 2014;2014b;Soledade et al. 2015;Cunha et al. 2015;present study); Uruguay and Argentina (Christoffersen 1979;Boschi 2000); Ascension and Saint Helena islands (Chace 1966;Manning & Chace 1990;Anker & De Grave 2012a;De Grave et al. 2014;Brown 2015); tropical eastern Atlantic (Holthuis 1951;Crosnier & Forest 1966;Dworschak et al. 2000;Anker & Dworschak 2004;Anker & Ahyong 2007;Anker et al. 2008aAnker et al. , 2008bAnker et al. , 2008cAnker et al. , 2009De Grave & Anker 2008;present study). ...

The present study deals with shrimps of the family Alpheidae collected in the shallow waters around the remote Trindade & Martin Vaz Archipelago, situated 1200 km off the coast of Espirito Santo, Brazil. A few additional samples came from dredges on top of the seamounts of the Vitoria-Trindade Seamount Chain. A total of 23 species in eight genera are reported, the vast majority representing new records for the area. One species is described as new, Synalpheus trinitatis sp. nov., based on the type material from Trindade Island. The new species clearly belongs to the Synalpheus brooksi Coutiere, 1909 species complex, differing from all its other members by at least two morphological features. Four species represent new records for Brazil and the southwestern Atlantic: Alpheopsis aequalis Coutiere, 1897 sensu lato, Alpheopsis chalciope de Man, 1910 sensu lato, Alpheus crockeri (Armstrong, 1941) and Prionalpheus gomezi Martinez-Iglesias & Carvacho, 1991; the two species of Alpheopsis are recorded from the Atlantic Ocean for the first time. The colour pattern of the recently described Alpheus rudolphi Almeida & Anker, 2011, a species endemic to Brazil, is shown for the first time and compared to the colour patterns of the four closely related species of the A. armatus Rathbun, 1901 complex from the Caribbean-Florida region. A brief zoogeographical analysis of the alpheid fauna of the oceanic islands of the tropical southern Atlantic (Trindade & Martin Vaz, Fernando de Noronha, Atol das Rocas, Sao Pedro & Sao Paulo, Ascension, Saint Helena, Cape Verde, Sao Tome & Principe) is also provided.
... The archipelago develops in relatively turbid waters, with a large amount of nutrients that come off the continental shelf (Francini-Filho et al. 2014). These reefs are formed by submerged and emergent coral reefs and extensive mangroves, seagrasses, and coralline algae bottoms (Dutra et al. 2005) that support a diversity of 17 species of coral, 300 species of fish (Francini-Filho et al. 2014), and 31 species of Stenopodidea and Caridea (Soledade et al. 2015). ...
The Abrolhos Archipelago is the most complex and diversified reef complex of the Southern Atlantic, being characterized by high levels of endemism. It belongs to the least studied area of the Brazilian littoral. Although the study of Pycnogonida from this area started in 1881, just three species are known for this archipelago up to now. This area has been experiencing environmental changes, particularly as a result of tourism. In this paper, we record another three species for the archipelago, two of which are already known from the Brazilian coast. Anoplodactylus batangensis is a pantropical species, recorded for Brazil in 2015 for the States of Paraíba and Pernambuco, and A. evelinae is widely distributed along the Brazilian coast. The new species Callipallene abrolhiensis sp. n. is described herein.

The objective of this study is to report new occurrences of five species of snapping shrimps of the genus Alpheus Fabricius, 1798 in Brazil and, thus, contribute to the knowledge of their zoogeography. The southern limit of distribution of A. formosus Gibbes, 1850 and A. peasei (Armstrong, 1940) is extended from Paraná to Santa Catarina and from Bahia to Rio de Janeiro, respectively. The northern distribution limit of A. pouang Christoffersen, 1979 and A. verrilli (Schmitt, 1924) is substantially extended from São Paulo to Pará and from Bahia to Pará, respectively. Finally, A. rudolphi Almeida & Anker, 2011, previously known from Ceará and Alagoas, is recorded for the first time in Pernambuco, filling a gap in its known distribution.
