Material examined. 1 ♂ , CCDB 5049 , Ubatuba, Praia do Lamberto , coll. F. Mantelatto et al., 09.iv.2013 ; 1 ♂ , 1 ♀ , CCDB 4850 , Ubatuba, Ilha Anchieta , Praia do Leste , coll. F. Mantelatto & R. Biagi, xi.2002 . Distribution. Western Atlantic—Bermuda, USA ( Virginia to South Carolina , Florida ), Bahamas , Gulf of Mexico , Mexico ( Quintana Roo , Yucatán ), West Indies, Brazil (Atol das Rocas, Fernando de Noronha, Trindade Island, Amapá to São Paulo , Santa Catarina ) ( Christoffersen 1979 ; 1998 , as A. normanni Kingsley, 1878a ; Martínez-Iglesias et al. 1996 /1997, as A. normanni ; Giraldes & Freire 2015 , as A . cf. packardii ; Anker et al. 2016, as A . packardii ). Previous records. São Sebastião ( Christoffersen 1979 , as A. normanni ; Amaral et al . 2010 , as A. normanni ); no new material provided ( Christoffersen 1998, as A. normanni ). Remarks. Alpheus packardii is part of the A. normanii complex ( Anker 2001 ; Williams et al. 2001; A. Anker, in preparation). Although distributed throughout the eastern Atlantic, there are some records of A. normanii in the western Atlantic ( e.g . Christoffersen 1979 ; 1998 ; Martínez-Iglesias et al. 1996 /1997). Specimens from the western Atlantic may correspond to A. packardii or other species within the A. normanii complex (see Soledade & Almeida 2013 ; Anker et al . 2016 for more details). Since the definitive identity of our material is currently unknown, until the taxonomic review is completed (A. Anker, in preparation) we rather assign it to A . cf. packardii , as done previously ( e.g . Almeida et al . 2012a ; Soledade & Almeida 2013 ; Soledade et al . 2015). GenBank accession number: CCDB 4850—16S ( KU312974 ).
