Alpheus heterochaelis Say, 1818 View in CoL

Previous records. (?) Kingsley, 1879: 58 [ Panama]; (?) Heck, 1977: 338 [around Galeta Island]; (?) Heck, 1979: 199 [Caribbean Panama]; (?) Abele and Kim, 1989: 15 [Gatun Locks].

Remarks. The presence of A. heterochaelis in Panama is highly questionable and all herein listed records are considered as doubtful. Most likely, these records refer to one or both recently described Atlantic species which are morphologically similar to A. heterochaelis : Alpheus buckupi Almeida, Terossi, Araújo-Silva and Mantelatto, 2013 (known from the Lesser Antilles southwards to São Paulo, Brazil, as well as São Tomé in the eastern Atlantic, see Pachelle et al., 2016) and/ or Alpheus petronioi Almeida, Terossi and Mantelatto, 2014 (known from Colombia and Venezuela to São Paulo, Brazil, see Almeida et al., 2014).
