Lysmata wurdemanni (Gibbes, 1850) (Figures 2C–D) Hippolyte Wurdemanni Gibbes, 1850: 197. Material examined. Brazil, São Paulo: 2 ind, CCDB 6258, Ubatuba offshore (35 m), coll. D. Rosa, 5-14.ix.2011; 1 ind, CCDB 5510, Enseada de Ubatuba, Ubatuba, coll. F. Mantelatto et al., 30.xi.2014. Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA (Long Island, New York to southeast Florida; Key West, Florida; Florida Bay; west coast of Florida to Panhandle; Galveston and Port Aransas, Texas), possibly also in northern Caribbean (needs confirmation), Brazil (São Paulo) (Rhyne & Lin 2006, present study). Previous records. None, see remarks. Remarks. Rhyne & Lin (2006) revised the L. wurdemanni complex and described four new species; they cited that previous records of L. wurdemanni from Brazil (e.g., Chace 1972; Williams 1984; Christoffersen 1998) might refer to L. ankeri or L. bahia. We collected three individuals of L. wurdemanni from Ubatuba and our DNA sequences matched with the sequences of L. wurdemanni used in previous studies (Baeza et al. 2009; Rhyne et al. 2009; Fiedler et al. 2010; Figure 3), confirming our morphological identification (see discussion section for more detailed approach). Sequences accession number (GenBank): CCDB 5510 - 16S (KU312984), COI (KU313012).
