The genus Pariphinotus
Kunkel, 1910 comprises a total of six species around the world, with
circumtropical and subtropical distribution, commonly occurring in
shallow waters, in soft bottoms and algae, including a previous record
of P. seclusus (Shoemaker,
1933) from Brazil. Material examined was collected by SCUBA diving,
from rhodolith beds, 12 meters deep, at the Fernando de Noronha
Archipelago, off the northeastern Brazilian coast. The new Brazilian
species described here can be diagnosed by a unique combination of
character states present in other species of the genus. However, it has
two exclusive characteristics, distinguishing it from the group: medial
apex of pleopod 3 peduncle with two small hook setae, and uropod 1
peduncle not exceeding the apex of telson.
Key words: Crustacea, Taxonomy,
Identification key, Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, Brazil.
