Material examined.
1 male
, 1 ov. female, Ilha de Santa Bárbara (
17°57’49”S
38°41’53”W
), coll. G.O. Soledade,
03.ix.2013
, intertidal, shallow tide pool, in small green sponges,
UESC

Distribution.
Western Atlantic—Florida (Dry
Tortugas
) and
Brazil
(Bahia) (
Chace 1972
;
Abele & Kim 1986
; this study).
Previous records from Abrolhos.
None.
Remarks.
Typton gnathophylloides
was hitherto known only from the
type
material collected in the Dry
Tortugas
, Florida, after
Almeida
et al
. (2014a)
re-assigned the two Brazilian records of
T. gnathophylloides
from Ubatuba and São Sebastião, São Paulo (
Nalesso
et al.
1995
;
Duarte & Nalesso 1996
), to
Typton fapespae
Almeida, Anker & Mantelatto, 2014
. Thus, the male-female pair from the Abrolhos represents the first actual record of
T. gnathophylloides
in Bahia,
Brazil
, and South Atlantic (Ilha de Santa Bárbara,
17°57’49”S
38°41’53”W
). The species can be recognized (cf.
Holthuis 1951
;
Chace 1972
) by the distinctly bifid dactylus of pereiopods 3–5, rounded posterior margin of the sixth abdominal segment, and mandible without a incisor process (
Fig. 2
C). However, a comparison between the Abrolhos material and the
type
material from Florida is highly desirable.
