Catalogue of the Order Amphipoda from Brazil (Crustacea, Peracarida): Suborders Amphilochidea, Senticaudata and Order Ingolfiellida

Abstract

This catalog documents 303 species within 142 genera and 56 families distributed in the suborders Amphilochidea, Senticaudata and order Ingolfiellida that have been described or reported for the Brazilian coast and continent. Data for these species such as type material, type locality, geographic and bathymetric distribution, ecological notes and remarks, when pertinent, was given. From these, 268 species (~ 90%) are benthonic, marine and/or estuarine occurring from a diverse type of substrates as sediment, algae, sponges, cnidarians, ascideans, mangrove roots, fouling habitats, coral rubble, rodolith banks, etc. In terms of bathymetry, there are 214 species (~ 80%) reported for the Brazilian continental shelf (0–200 m) and 60 (~20%) for the deep sea zone (> 200 m, 50% from the Campos Basin area). There are 35 non-marine amphipods reported from Brazil. Hyalella is the restricted and dominant epigean group and is represented by 22 species, including some hypogean and cave species. Cave dwellers includes 15 species within 6 genera as: Hyalella (5); Megagidiella (1); Potiberaba (1); Spelaeogammarus (7), and Seborgia (1). Among the Bogidiellidae, Bogidiella neotropica Ruffo, 1952 and Marigidiella brasiliensis (Siewing, 1953) are hypogean, but not from caves. The former is the only amphipod species recorded from the Brazilian Amazon Biome, within the Tapajós River, Pará and the latter are found in marine coastal groundwater of Bahia and São Paulo. Considering the landhoppers (truly terrestrial), only two introduced species, Talitroides alluaudi (Chevreux, 1896) and Talitroides topitotum (Burt, 1934) have been found in the Atlantic forest biome, urban parks and sylviculture plantations from the southeast and south of Brazil. Moreover, several amphipod records for Brazil were noticed to be dubious or misidentifications and are listed in a table with pertinent literature.

Macaronesian islands as promoters of diversification in amphipods: The remarkable case of the family Hyalidae (Crustacea, Amphipoda)

“…To our best knowledge, this study provides the first record of A. media in Madeira and Canary Islands, which constitutes a ~2,000 km northward expansion of its distribution. Apohyale media occurs along the coasts of the western Atlantic (De Broyer et al, ; Serejo & Siqueira, ), including Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico until Florida (LeCroy, ; Nelson, ). The northernmost record along the Eastern Atlantic is Cape Verde (Dana, ; De Broyer et al, ) .…”

Primeiro registro de <em>Ampithoe marcuzzii</em> Ruffo, 1954 (Crustacea: Amphitoidae) para o Nordeste do Brasil

“…Distribuição geográfica: USA: Costa leste da Flórida (Hutchison Island, Riviera Beach), Florida Keys (Pigeon Keys) (Lecroy 2002); Cuba (Ortiz 1978 Comentários: Ampithoe marcuzzii foi descrita por Ruffo (1954) com base no holótipo (fêmea) e parátipos representados por fêmeas e juvenis provenientes do Caribe Venezuelano. Recentemente, Serejo & Siqueira (2018), descreveram um indivíduo macho adulto, sendo este o primeiro registro confirmado da espécie para o Brasil. Os espécimes caracterizados neste trabalho são similares aos descritos por Lecroy (2002), encontrados na Flórida (USA), principalmente nas características dos gnatópodos 1 e 2 dos machos e fêmeas adultos e subadultos.…”

“…As espécies pertencentes ao gênero Ampithoe possuem grande diversidade morfológica, sugerindo que o grupo não é monofilético (Peart 2007). Dentre as 94 espécies descritas, seis foram registradas no Brasil, sendo elas: Ampithoe divisura Shoemaker, 1938(Serejo & Licínio 2002Serejo & Siqueira 2018); Ampithoe marcuzzii Ruffo, 1954(Serejo & Siqueira 2018; Ampithoe ramondi Audouin, 1826(Wakabara & Serejo 1998Serejo & Licínio 2002;Serejo & Siqueira 2018); Ampithoe robustimana Andrade & Senna, 2017(Andrade & Senna 2017 Ampithoe seticoxae Serejo & Licínio, 2002(Serejo & Licínio 2002 e Ampithoe suapensis Correia, Guedes-Silva & Souza-Filho, 2016(Correia et al 2016 Ampithoe marcuzzii foi registrado por Serejo & Siqueira (2018) A identificação foi realizada sob estereomicroscópio (ZEISS -Modelo Stemi 305 EDU) e com base nas seguintes referências: Ruffo (1954), Barnard & Karaman (1991), Lecroy (2002), Serejo & Lícinio (2002), Peart (2007) e Hughes & Lowry (2009).…”

Specimens from TR are larger (up to 14 mm) than in the original description by Ruffo (1954), as observed by Siqueira (2012) in SP.…”

“…The genus Ampithoe is the most speciose among Ampithoidae (Sotka et al, 2017), with 78 species described worldwide (Horton et al, 2020). Six species of Ampithoe were previously reported from the Brazilian coast: Ampithoe divisura Shoemaker, 1938, Ampithoe marcuzzii Ruffo, 1954, Ampithoe ramondi Audouin, 1826, Ampithoe robustimana Andrade and Senna, 2017, Ampithoe seticoxae Serejo and Licínio, 2002, and Ampithoe suapensis Correia et al, 2016 (Serejo andSiqueira, 2018). Among these species, Ampithoe thaix sp.…”
