<strong>Notes</strong> on alpheids from Mexican Caribbean 227 Of the species here treated, A. cf. armillatus, A. bouvieri, A. cf. floridanus, A. cf. packardii, and S. apioceros are currently recognized as part of species complexes (Almeida et al., 2007). Only the A. bouvieri species complex has been solved (Anker et al., 2009); the taxonomic review of the other mentioned complexes is also urgent (see Anker et al., 2007). On the other hand, S. fritzmuelleri is considered as a possible species complex (Almeida et al., 2007), whereas A. viridari may be a sister clade of the A. armillatus complex (Mathews & Anker, 2009). The occurrence of snapping shrimps in our samples is explained by the proximity to reefs in the studied areas, since many associated reef-species of crustaceans utilize the surrounding seagrass to live (Heck, 1977). The capture of species associated with other organisms such as S. fritzmuelleri (reported from sponges and among ascidians and gorgonians, see Heck, 1977; Christoffersen, 1979; Markham et al., 1990) may be attributed to the collecting activities that detached these shrimps from their hosts. The species recorded herein are restricted to tropical and subtropical waters (Christoffersen, 1982; Manning & Chace, 1990; Markham et al., 1990) and according to previous geographic records, all those species are distributed in the western Atlantic, although A. bouvieri and S. fritzmuelleri also occur in the eastern Atlantic. At present, a detailed analysis of the distributional patterns in marine zoogeographic provinces of the species collected is not possible, as most belong to species complexes (Anker, 2001; Almeida et al., 2007), and further changes are expected in their nomenclatural status and geographical distribution (Anker et al., 2007). Therefore, a review of the alpheid cryptic fauna from the Mexican coasts using the multidisciplinary approaches mentioned is recommended in order to determine the taxonomic status of the species herein reported.
