dct:abstract

The western Atlantic members of the Alpheus armillatus H. Milne Edwards, 1837 species complex, which includes some of the largest and most common intertidal snapping shrimps, are revised based on extensive fresh material collected in the Caribbean Sea, Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, as well as some older museum material. Alpheus armillatus (sensu H. Milne Edwards 1837 and Coutiere 1899) is redescribed based primarily on the Caribbean material and a neotype from Aruba is designated. Alpheus lancirostris Rankin, 1900 and A. verrilli (Schmitt, 1924) are resurrected from the synonymy of A. armillatus and rediagnosed. Alpheus angulosus McClure, 2002 is redefined and reported from several new localities; its presence in Brazil is confirmed. Seven species are described as new: A. amarillo sp. nov. (Caribbean, southern Florida, Gulf of Mexico), A. punctatus sp. nov. (Caribbean, southern Florida), A. tampensis sp. nov. (western Florida), A. carlae sp. nov. (Caribbean, Florida, Brazil), A. mathewsae sp. nov. (Caribbean, Florida), A. brasileiro sp. nov. (Brazil), and A. nuno sp. nov. (Mexico). In addition, A. viridari (Armstrong, 1949), a close relative and presumed sister lineage of the A. armillatus complex, is rediagnosed and its distinguishing features are highlighted. All species are abundantly illustrated, including variation of some morphological features and colour patterns. A character table and a key to the western Atlantic species of the A. armillatus complex are provided.
