A new species of Cheiriphotis (Amphipoda, Corophiidae) from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean

Souza-Filho, Jesser F.; Souza, Ana Maria T.; Valério-Berardo, Maria Teresa

Abstract

A new species, Cheiriphotis petronioi sp. nov., is described from the Brazilian coast. This species is recognizable amongst its congeners by the carpus of adult male gnathopod 2 not fused with propodus and the palm acute and uropod 1 of adult males without a group of apical setae between rami. Specimens studied herein were collected between 23º and 34ºS (Brazil - São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul) from 16 to 38 m depth. An updated key to all species of the genus is provided.
