Description

Picroceroides tubularis Miers, 1886

(Figure 5B)

Material examined. Penaeid—1 F; CW = 13.23 mm; CZUFS CRU- 00237.

Station. Penaeid—4.

Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA (Florida and Gulf of Mexico), Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and Brazil (Fernando de Noronha, Atol das Rocas, from Amapá to Alagoas, Bahia, and Espírito Santo) (Miers 1886; Coelho 1967 /1969, 1971 a; Fausto-Filho & Sampaio-Neto 1976; Barreto et al. 1993; Melo 1996; Coelho-Filho 2006).

Ecological notes. Lives on depths between 20 to 90 m, normally on calcareous algae bottoms (Melo 1996).

Remarks. According to the classification from Ng et al. (2008), the species belongs to the subfamily Mithracinae, which was recently raised to family Mithracidae (Windsor & Felder 2014). Furthermore, some genera, including the Picroceroides Miers, were removed from Mithracidae and included in the subfamily Pisinae Dana (Windsor & Felder 2014; García & Capote 2015).

Previous records in Sergipe. Coelho (1971 a, b).
