204587C4FFA9FFC4FD83286EFD75FB3A.taxon	description	Ctenocheloides almeidai was described based on a female obtained from a deep crevice cemented with compact clay-like silt in a coral rock at a depth of ~ 1 m in Ponta Verde, Maceió, state of Alagoas, Brazil (Anker and Pachelle, 2013). During the activities of the project “ Diversidade de Crustáceos Decápodos Marinhos e Estuarinos do Sul da Bahia, Brasil ” (2003 – 2015), specimens of C. almeidai were retrieved from dead fragments of the firecoral Millepora alcicornis Linnaeus, 1758 in a locality in southern Bahia, Brazil, thus representing the second finding of the species since its original description. The present material was collected while scuba diving at the Parque Municipal Marinho do Recife de Fora (16 ° 23 ’ 0 ” S 38 ° 59 ’ 0 ” W), Porto Seguro, Bahia, in April 2012 and May 2013. The specimens were obtained at a depth of 10 – 12 m in two types of substrata: dead portions of coral head colonized by other organisms (e. g., algae, sponges and zoanthids), and coral rubble collected on the basis of the colonies. The dead coral heads were detached using hammer and chisel. The fragments were wrapped in cloth bags to prevent the associated fauna from escaping. In the laboratory, the specimens were extracted from the coral crevices and crioanesthetized prior the preservation in ethanol 70 %. The material was identified using Anker and Pachelle’s (2013) description and illustrations, and deposited in the Crustacean Collection of the Museu de Oceanografia of Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil (MOUFPE). Drawings were performed with the aid of a camera lucida. Carapace length (CL) was measured along the mid-dorsal line from the anterior to posterior margins of carapace.	en	Santos, Patricia Souza, Almeida, Guidomar Oliveira Soledade and Alexandre Oliveira (2016): Second fi nding of the south western Atlantic ghost shrimp Ctenocheloides almeidai Anker & Pachelle, 2013 (Crustacea: Axiidea).

204587C4FFA8FFC4FF122B19FB3BFBEF.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined. 1 ovigerous female (CL 2.8 mm), 13. iv. 2012, dead portions of coral head, MOUFPE 15627; 1 ovigerous female (CL 3.4 mm), 05. v. 2013, coral rubble, MOUFPE 15628; 2 ovigerous female (one specimen with CL 3.6 mm and one with carapace damaged), 12. iv. 2012, coral rubble, MOUFPE 15629. Distribution. Western Atlantic – Brazil (Alagoas and Bahia) (Anker and Pachelle, 2013; present study). Remarks. The distribution range of C. almeidai is herein increased in approximately 7 degrees of south latitude from the type locality in Maceió, Alagoas (~ 9 º 40 ’ S) to Porto Seguro, Bahia (~ 16 º 23 ’ S). The specimens from Bahia closely resembles the holotype. However, the anterolateral projections of carapace (compare Fig. 1 A and Anker and Pachelle, 2013: fig. 2 B) and the distal blunt lobe on first segment of antennal peduncle (compare Fig. 1 B, C and Anker and Pachelle, 2013: fig. 2 B) are slightly more anteriorly protruding than in the holotype. Other morphological variations observed include: front (Fig. 1 A, E) varying from broadly convex to slightly protruding (vs. broadly convex in the holotype); ventral margin of ischium of first pereiopods (Fig. 2 A, C) armed with 6 – 9 teeth (vs. 9 teeth in the holotype); ventral margin of merus of first pereiopods (Fig. 2 B, D) with 1 – 3 large teeth (vs. 1 – 2 teeth in the holotype); crista dentata on the ischium of the third maxilliped (Fig. 1 J – L) with 9 – 10 teeth (vs. 10 teeth in the holotype).	en	Santos, Patricia Souza, Almeida, Guidomar Oliveira Soledade and Alexandre Oliveira (2016): Second fi nding of the south western Atlantic ghost shrimp Ctenocheloides almeidai Anker & Pachelle, 2013 (Crustacea: Axiidea).
