Abstract

TThe occurrence of the alpheid mangrove shrimp Potamalpheops tyrymembe Soledade, Santos and Almeida, 2014, is here e extended from 8°41’S (Rio Ariquindá, state of Pernambuco) to 7°01’S (Rio Paraíba do Norte, state of Paraíba) in northeastern Brazil, enlarging the northern known range of this shrimp. Moreover, we provide additional locality records for this tiny and poorly known shrimp which has been observed in burrows of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763).

Keywords: Caridea, estuarine fauna, mangrove fauna, new records, western Atlantic.
