See Coutière (1909) for original description and illustrations, and Anker et al. (2012) for additional figures and colour photographs; additional photographs of the Brazilian material in Santos et al. (2012) (see also Fig. 11 G, H). Distribution . Western-central Atlantic: Saint Helena Island; Ascension Island; North Carolina to Florida; Gulf of Mexico; throughout Caribbean Sea; Bermuda; Brazil: Ceará to Santa Catarina, Abrolhos Islands, Atol das Rocas, São Pedro & São Paulo Archipelago, Trindade & Martin Vaz Archipelago (Anker et al. 2012 and references therein; Santos et al. 2012 and references therein; Soledade et al. 2015; present study). Ecology . In various habitats, from rocky intertidal shores to coral reefs and mangroves with rubble and sponges; in crevices of dead corals, coralline algae, sponges etc.; intertidal to about 50 m. Remarks . Synalpheus fritzmuelleri , one of the most common and wide-ranging western Atlantic snapping shrimps, was previously reported from numerous Brazilian localities (Christoffersen 1979, 1998; Anker et al. 2012; Santos et al. 2012; Soledade et al. 2015). Nevertheless, the present material seems to represent the first record of this species from the Trindade and Martin Vaz Archipelago. : Published as part of Anker, Arthur, Tavares, Marcos & Mendonça, Joel B., 2016, Alpheid shrimps (Decapoda: Caridea) of the Trindade & Martin Vaz Archipelago, off Brazil, with new records, description of a new species of Synalpheus and remarks on zoogeographical patterns in the oceanic islands of the tropical southern Atlantic, pp. 1-58 in Zootaxa 4138 (1) on pages 37-38, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4138.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/271958 : {"references": ["Coutiere, H.
