Ogyrides hayi Williams, 1981

( Figures 14 , 15 )

Ogyrides hayi Williams 1981: 145 .

Ogyris alphaerostris — Hay & Shore 1918: 388, fig. 11, pl. XXVI, fig. 9 [not O. alphaerostris ( Kingsley, 1880) ].

Material examined. Brazil, Ceará: 1 male, MZUSP 32614, Icapuí, Praia de Tremembé, sand-mud flat, among sea grass beds, in burrow, suction pump, coll. P.P.G. Pachelle, 12.ii.2014 [fcn PP 14-020].

Distribution. Western Atlantic: USA (North Carolina to Florida), Gulf of Mexico, Belize, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Brazil (Ceará, Pernambuco, São Paulo) ( Christoffersen 1998; Coelho et al. 2006; Felder et al. 2009; Ocaña et al. 2009; present study).

Remarks. The single male specimen of Ogyrides hayi from Ceará agrees well with the diagnosis of this species in Williams (1981), except for the second pereiopod carpus having five joints (vs. four in Williams’ material; cf. Fig. 14 H). The specimen also possesses one small spiniform seta on the distolateral margin of the antepenultimate article of the third maxilliped ( Fig. 14 F), just like O. alphaerostris (see above). This character may have been overlooked by both Hay & Shore (1918) and Williams (1981, 1984). In addition, the telson bears two pairs of minute spiniform setae on its distolateral angles, which were not illustrated by Williams (1984: fig. 75c) (see Fig. 14 E).

The present material confirms the occurrence of O. hayi on the coast of Ceará. The previous record of O. hayi from Ceará by Bezerra & Franklin Júnior (2006) was uncertain for the species was listed in a table, without voucher specimens deposited in the collections (P.P.G. Pachelle, pers. obs.).
