Material examined. Panama (Atlantic): Bocas del Toro, Isla Colon, Boca del Drago, sand flat (yabby pump), 1 m, coll. A. Anker and I. Martin, 30 Apr 2007: 1 female, 8.3 mm cl (FLMNH UF 20177).
Distribution. Bermuda and the Florida Keys south throughout the Caribbean and Central America to Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in 0–101 m (Boyko 2002).
Colouration. Carapace, eyes, antennae, and abdomen all generally uniform tan with hints of iridescence and lighter areas along carapace grooves and where setae inserted; antennae with alternating light and dark thin bands along flagellae; pereopods with iridescent sheen on light tan ground colour; setae light tan (Fig. 1 D, E).
Remarks. This specimen is referable to A. paretii, and agrees with that species in all aspects, including ocular peduncle/carapace length ratios, carapace grooves, and dactylus shapes of pereopods II–IV (Figs. 2 E, G). The species has been reported from Panama previously (Boyko 2002).
