REGISTRO DA LAGOSTA SAPATEIRA Scyllarides brasiliensis RATHBUN, 1906 (DECÁPODA: SCYLLARIDAE) NO GRANDE SISTEMA DE RECIFES AMAZÔNICOS, PARÁ, BRASIL

The slipper lobster Scyllarides brasiliensis Rathbun, 1906 (Scyllaridae Latreille, 1825) has a broad distribution in Western Atlantic, however with disjoint records in costal zones between 20 and 40 m, associated in bottoms of gravel and coral reefs. From Brazilian waters, this species has been recorded from States of Maranhao to Bahia and with sporadic records in States of Sao Paulo and Santa Catarina. Based on that, herein we report the northernmost record of S. brasiliensis in Brazil and its first observation from the Amazon Reef System (ARS). A male specimen was collected through the lobster fishing boat (commercial fishing) in State of Para (01°23’53.952” N; 046°40’46.452” W) at the depth of 76.2 m. This new record increases the geographic distribution of S. brasiliensis from State of Para (Brazil) and expands the knowledge of the crustacean biodiversity in the Amazon Reefs.
