Remarks. Alpheus packardii is part of the still unresolved transisthmian A. normanni species complex, which includes at least five (pseudo)cryptic taxa ( Williams et al., 2001; Anker, in prep.). Therefore, the true identity of the material recorded under this name from the Caribbean coast of Panama is currently unknown, but it is certain that more than one species from this complex is present in the area (Anker, in prep.).
