Synalpheus brevifrons
Chace, 1972
Previous records.
Ríos and Duffy, 2007: 13
[?San
Blas Islands, as
Zuzalpheus brevifrons
].
Remarks.
The presence of
S. brevifrons
in
Panama
requires confirmation.
Ríos and Duffy (2007)
first stated that this species is possibly present in San Blas Islands, but after having provided some details about the single ovigerous female from San Blas, the authors concluded that it may represent “yet another undescribed species”. Otherwise
S. brevifrons
is known only from
the Dominican
Republic and
Belize
(
Anker
et al.
, 2012
), where it associates with the sponge
Aiolochroia crassa
(Hyatt, 1875)
at depths of
1–
15 m
.
