Size range. Colony members, 2.6–4.6 mm cl; females, 2.8, 4.0 mm cl.
Colour in life. Semitransparent pale yellow-orange, ovaries and freshly laid eggs orange-yellow ( Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 ); additional colour photograph in Ríos & Duffy (2007).
Type locality. Carrie Bow Cay , Belize .
Distribution. Western Atlantic: Florida [Florida Keys]; Bahamas [Lee Stocking Island]; Caribbean Sea: Belize [Carrie Bow Cay], Honduras [Utila], Costa Rica [Cahuita], Panama [Bocas del Toro, Isla Grande, San Blas Islands]
( Ríos & Duffy 2007; present study; see map in Fig. 51 View FIGURE 51 ). well as Hymeniacidon caerulea and Aiolochroia crassa ( Ríos & Duffy 2007; present study); in social colonies of “tens to hundreds” of individuals with only one or two reproductive females ( Ríos & Duffy 2007).
Remarks. Synalpheus elizabethae belongs to the S. rathbunae Coutière, 1909 species complex, which also includes S. rathbunae and S. regalis Duffy, 1996 . At least two species in this complex, S. elizabethae and S. regalis , live in colony-like groups with a relatively complex social organisation ( Duffy 1996b; Ríos & Duffy 2007).
