Farfantepenaeus subtilis (Pérez Farfante, 1967)

Penaeus aztecus subtilis Pérez Farfante, 1967: 89; figs. 2a–b, 3a–c.

Material examined. Brazil, São Paulo: 1 ♂, 1 ♀, CCDB 4676, Cananéia, coll. R. Costa, 23.vi.2013 .

Distribution. Western Atlantic— Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Antigua, Guadaloupe, Saint Lucia, Aruba, Curaçao, Trinidad and Tobago, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Brazil (Amapá, Pará, Maranhão, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) (Pérez Farfante 1967; Coelho & Ramos-Porto 1980; Beltran 1982; D’Incao 1998; Vargas & Cortés 1999a; Coelho et al. 2006; Teodoro et al. 2016; Nóbrega et al. 2021).

Remarks. Previous records from the coast of São Paulo include only Cananéia (Teodoro et al. 2016). A remarkably similar species Farfantepenaeus isabelae Tavares & Gusmão, 2016 was described from one of the two morphotypes of F. subtilis just after that record. Tavares & Gusmão (2016) reported that it was not possible to confirm the identification of the specimen presented by Teodoro et al. (2016) since molecular analyzes were performed in distinct regions of mitochondrial DNA. However, França et al. (2020) confirmed the identification of a single specimen collected by Teodoro et al. (2016) as F. subtilis . Sequence accession number (GenBank): CCDB 4676—16S (MF490143), COI (KX421864) (Teodoro et al. 2016; Mantelatto et al. 2018).
