Description

Leptuca uruguayensis (Nobili, 1901)

(Figure 14C)

Uca uruguayensis Nobili, 1901: 14.

Material examined. Brazil, São Paulo: 2 ♂, CCDB 278, Ubatuba, Rio Escuro mangrove, coll. F. Mantelatto, 25.viii.1998; 1 ♂, CCDB 3512, Ubatuba, Praia Dura, coll. P. Rocha, 29.viii.1992; 2 ♂, CCDB 5275, Ilha Comprida, beach near ferry station to Cananéia, colls. R. Robles et al., 11.iii.2012.

Distribution. Western Atlantic—Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul), Uruguay, and Argentina (south to Buenos Aires) (Rathbun 1918; Crane 1975; Bezerra 2012; Masunari et al. 2020).

Remarks. Previous records on the coast of São Paulo include Ilha Piaçaguera in Cubatão (as “Santos: E. Piassaguera”) (Rathbun 1918; Crane 1975), São Sebastião (Luederwaldt 1919a, 1929), Santos (Luederwaldt 1919b; Crane 1975; Bezerra 2012), Cananéia (Gerlach 1958), and Ubatuba (Bezerra 2012). This species presents the most extensive distribution towards south than any other American fiddler crab (Crane 1975; Bezerra 2012). This species and M. mordax, are the only two with southwards distribution where mangroves do not grow (Masunari et al. 2020).
