Previous records.

as
Lysmata
cf.

(

)
].
Remarks.
Barros-Alves
et al
. (2016)
sampled two specimens of
L.
cf.
intermedia
occurring syntopically with more than 30 individuals of
L. ankeri
in Couves
Island. One of the specimens (size
6.2 mm
) was re-examined, but the other specimen reported (
5.4 mm
in CC) was not found in the MZUSP collection. The specimen examined by us matches
L. jundalini
, since it has 23 fused segments on the lateral antennular flagellum (vs. 17 fused in
L. intermedia
) and 3 teeth on the dactylus of the 3rd to 5th pereiopods (vs.
4 in
L. intermedia
) (
d’Udekem d’Acoz 2000
;
Rhyne
et al.
2012
). This finding extends the species distribution considerably south-westwards to
São Paulo
and constitute the first record from
Brazil
, since the previous southern limit of occurrence of these shrimps was
Panama
(
Rhyne
et al
. 2012
;
Santana-Moreno
et al.
2013
). Our record exemplifies one more case of decapod misidentified along the Brazilian coast and several, non-exclusive hypotheses may explain the low number of captured individuals such as cryptic habit, low collection efforts in the rocky subtidal areas, and recent introduction as proposed to other congeners (
Barros-Alves
et al
. 2016
). Regarding the color pattern, we cannot discuss much based on the analyzed specimen, since there is practically no shading due to the fixation and there is no reference which specimen is (that one we examined or that one we could not find) in the photo provided by
Barros-Alves
et al
. (2016
;
Fig. 1b, p
.
2
). Taking in account the photos of specimens recorded by
Rhyne
et al.
(2012
; Fig. 4, p. 76) in the original description and
Santana-Moreno
et al.
(2013
;
Fig. 2C, p
. 227) that recorded the species in
Mexico
, there is some variation of color tonality in combination with some similarity in the general aspect as translucent body with wide rust colored longitudinal stripes, lateral carapace with longitudinal strips, lacking transverse bands and dorsal carapace with heavy singular inverted U-shaped band. Molecular analyses are in progress to give more subsidies and elucidate this taxonomic field. In addition, due to the impossibility of analyzing a second specimen collected by
Barros-Alves
et al
. (2016)
, the hypothesis of the occurrence of
L. intermedia
cannot be completely ruled out, a fact that should be investigated.
