Typton gnathophylloides Holthuis, 1951

(Figs. 1 C, 2)

Material examined. 1 male, 1 ov. female, Ilha de Santa Bárbara (17°57’49”S 38°41’53”W), coll. G.O. Soledade, 03.ix.2013, intertidal, shallow tide pool, in small green sponges, UESC 1548.

Distribution. Western Atlantic—Florida (Dry Tortugas) and Brazil (Bahia) (Chace 1972; Abele & Kim 1986; this study).

Previous records from Abrolhos. None.

Remarks. Typton gnathophylloides was hitherto known only from the type material collected in the Dry Tortugas, Florida, after Almeida et al. (2014a) re-assigned the two Brazilian records of T. gnathophylloides from Ubatuba and São Sebastião, São Paulo (Nalesso et al. 1995; Duarte & Nalesso 1996), to Typton fapespae Almeida, Anker & Mantelatto, 2014 . Thus, the male-female pair from the Abrolhos represents the first actual record of T. gnathophylloides in Bahia, Brazil, and South Atlantic (Ilha de Santa Bárbara, 17°57’49”S 38°41’53”W). The species can be recognized (cf. Holthuis 1951; Chace 1972) by the distinctly bifid dactylus of pereiopods 3–5, rounded posterior margin of the sixth abdominal segment, and mandible without a incisor process (Fig. 2 C). However, a comparison between the Abrolhos material and the type material from Florida is highly desirable.
