Previous records. Anker, 2011a: 6 [ Bocas del Toro].

Material examined. Bocas del Toro. 1 spec., Isla Colón, west of Punta Caracol, 09°22.410’N 082°17.887’ W, suction pump, from burrow of Lepidophthalmus cf. sinuensis Lemaitre and Rodrigues , leg. A. Anker, 11.08.2008, OUMNH. ZC.2008-14-119. Remarks. The Panamanian specimens are provisionally assigned to L. forceps following Anker (2011a), as they show some minor morphological differences to the populations from North Carolina ( type locality) and elsewhere. Recorded from North Carolina southwards to Panama and Ceará, Brazil ( Pachelle et al., 2016); associated with several species of ghost and mud shrimps ( Callianassidae , Upogebiidae ) in very shallow water ( 0–5 m).
