First record of Trachycaris restricta (A. Milne-Edwards, 1878) (Crustacea, Hippolytidae) from the state of Sergipe, northeast Brazil: Filling distribution gaps

Abstract

This paper presents the first record of Trachycaris restricta (A. Milne-Edwards, 1878) from the State of Sergipe, filling a gap of occurrence of this species in the Brazilian northeast coast and compiles previous reports of this species from Brazil. The analyzed specimens were associated with algae and captured through daytime fishery hauls in two sampling stations at 30 m depth in March 2000.
