Periclimenaeus bredini Chace 1972

Description

Periclimenaeus bredini Chace, 1972

(Figure 3)

Material examined. Panama, Bocas del Toro: 1 ovigerous ♀ (cl 3.0 mm), FLMNH UF 46702, Isla Pastores, lat. 9.234248 / long. -82.344976, epibiont growth on mangrove roots, coll. R. Lasley, 03.vi.2017; 1 ♂ (cl 2.6 mm), FLMNH UF 47315, Isla Colón, near Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, epibiont growth on mangrove roots, lat. 9.351814 / long. -82.259134, coll. R. Lasley, 10.vi.2017.

Remarks. The present material agrees well with the description and diagnosis provided by Chace (1972). The colour in life (Fig. 3), herein shown for the first time, is semi-translucent with numerous minute red chromatophores mixed with fewer larger white chromatophores, both types spread over most of the carapace and pleon; the gonads and eggs are pale cream. The species has been previously reported from several localities including the Gulf of Mexico (Florida, Mexico: Veracruz, Yucatán), Caribbean coast of Mexico (Quintana Roo), Cuba (Bahía de Vita) and Venezuela (Los Roques Archipelago) (Chace 1972; Dardeau 1984; Villamizar & Laughlin 1991; Martínez-Iglesias et al. 1993; Hernández-Aguilera et al. 1996). The present specimens represent the first record of the species for the Caribbean side of Panama.
