Mixtopagurus paradoxus A. Milne-Edwards, 1880 View in CoL

Mixtopagurus paradoxus A. Milne-Edwards, 1880: 39 View in CoL .

Material examined. None.

Distribution. Western Atlantic— USA (North Carolina), Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas, Caribbean Sea, Brazil (Amapá, Maranhão, Ceará, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) ( Milne-Edwards 1880; Milne-Edwards & Bouvier 1893; Benedict 1901a; Bullis & Thompson 1965; Forest 1987; Coelho 1996; Lemaitre & Tavares 2015).

Remarks. The distribution of Mixtopagurus paradoxus in Brazil suggested by Melo (1999) is from Amapá ( Coelho 1996) to Maranhão (first record from Brazil) ( Bullis & Thompson 1965). However, the deposition of the material from Maranhão is unknown. In addition, Coelho et al. (2007) established a range from Amapá to Pará as part of this species distribution, but it seems to be a mistake because there are no records of M. paradoxus from Pará ( Lemaitre & Tavares, 2015). These later reported an abundant collection of M. paradoxus from São Paulo (Santos, iv.2002, coll. Carlo Magenta, 350–400 m, 18 ♂ 7.5–13.0 mm sl, 11 ♀ 7.5–8.5 mm sl, MZUSP 14594; idem: 30 ♂ 8.5–14.0 mm sl, 9 ♀ 7.0– 8.5 mm sl, MZUSP 14595); however for some of the material mentioned in the list (p. 457), the coordinates furnished seem to belong to the waters of Rio de Janeiro (to cite F/V Nuevo Apenino, 23°42.40ʹS, 042°18.30ʹW, 24.xi.2001, MZUSP 15699; idem: 23°42.49ʹS, 042°07.00ʹW, 02.xii.2001, MZUSP 15694; idem: 23°59.33ʹS, 042°19.16ʹW, 30.xi.2001, MZUSP 15698).
