Previous records. Anker, 2011a: 6 [Bocas del Toro].

Material examined. Bocas del Toro. 1 spec., Isla Colón, west of Punta Caracol, 09°22.410’N 082°17.887’ W, suction pump, from burrow of Lepidophthalmus cf. sinuensis Lemaitre and Rodrigues , leg. A. Anker, 11.08.2008, OUMNH. ZC.2008-14-119. Remarks. The Panamanian specimens are provisionally assigned to L. forceps following Anker (2011a), as they show some minor morphological differences to the populations from North Carolina (type locality) and elsewhere. Recorded from North Carolina southwards to Panama and Ceará, Brazil ( Pachelle et al., 2016); associated with several species of ghost and mud shrimps ( Callianassidae , Upogebiidae ) in very shallow water (0–5 m).
