Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis

Description

Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (Latreille, 1817)

Material examined. Petro-UFS—1 F; CL: 39.75 mm; CZUFS CRU- 00038. Penaeid—1 F; CL: 34.15 mm; CZUFS CRU- 00221.

Stations. Petro-UFS—11; Penaeid—Unknown.

Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA, from Cape Hatteras to North Carolina, and Brazil (from Amapá to Rio Grande do Sul) (Costa et al. 2003).

Ecological notes. From shallow waters to 366 m, more frequently at 60 m depth (Costa et al. 2003).

Remarks. Previously recorded as Peneus brasiliensis (Smith 1869; Coelho & Ramos 1972; D’Incao 1998) and as Penaeus (Melicertus) brasiliensis (Pérez-Farfante 1969; Ramos-Porto et al. 1989; Barros & Pimentel 2001). Specimens collected by Santos et al. (2016) were downstream of the São Francisco River, at the border of Alagoas and Sergipe. Recently, Ma et al. (2011) proposed the return of the species Farfantepenaeus and Litopenaeus to the old genus Penaeus Fabricius, but, as this remains an unanswered question, we decided to maintain the classification proposed by Pérez-Farfante & Kensley (1997).

Previous records in Sergipe. Santos et al. (2016).
