Title

First record of the deep sea Paguridae Catapaguroides microps (Decapoda: Anomura) in the southwestern Atlantic Sea

Abstract

The knowledge of Brazilian Paguridae (Decapoda, Anomura) is based mainly on shallow water samples (0-250 m), and only five species were recorded from deeper than 250 m. The genus Catapaguroides Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1892 is one of a few genera of Paguridae characterized by the absence of a pleurobranchia above the fourth pereopod. The genus is known mainly from the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and only three species are recognized in the Atlantic Ocean viz. C. megalops Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1892, C. iris Bouvier, 1922 and C. microps Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1892. Catapaguroides microps has been collected from 718 to 1900 m depth in the Indo-Pacific, northwestern and eastern Atlantic. Here, we describe specimens of C. microps collected from Campos Basin, SE Brazil. This is the first record of this species from the Southwestern Atlantic.
