Synalpheus carpenteri Macdonald & Duffy 2006
No full textSynalpheus carpenteri Macdonald & Duffy, 2006 (Pl. 3C) Material examined. Curaçao: 25 ov. females, 46 non-ov. individuals (VIMS 08CU3012–5, 3805–6, 3901–2), Caracas Baai, from the canals of the sponge Agelas cf. clathrodes . 2 ov. females, 6 non-ov. individuals (VIMS 08CU13001), Eastpunt, from the canals of A. cf. clathrodes. 1 ov. female, 1 non-ov. individual (VIMS 08CU1601–2), Piscadera Baai, from the canals of A. cf. clathrodes. 4 ov. females, 3 non-ov. individuals (VIMS 08CU8701), Piscadera Baai east, from the canals of A. cf. clathrodes . 23 ov. females, 22 non-ov. individuals (VIMS 08CU8201, 7–14), Scary Steps, from the canals of A. cf. clathrodes. Largest ov. female, CL 3.8 mm, largest non-ov. individual, CL 3.2 mm. Color. Body color transparent to orange-tinged, ovigerous females with orange or reddish-orange ovaries and embryo color ranging from orange to dull pinkish red. Hosts and ecology. As in all other known locations, S. carpenteri in Curaçao is a host specialist on sponges in the genus Agelas (Agelas cf. clathrodes in Curaçao), which it often occupied along with Synalpheus agelas and less frequently with Synalpheus sanctithomae and Synalpheus mcclendoni. S. carpenteri occurred as a single pair in smaller sponges or in larger groups of approximately equal sex ratios in larger sponges. Distribution. Bahamas (as S. bousfieldi in part, Dardeau 1984; see Macdonald & Duffy 2006); Caribbean Panama (Macdonald & Duffy 2006); Belize (Macdonald & Duffy 2006; Macdonald et al. 2006; Rios & Duffy 2007); Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2009); Curaçao (this study). Remarks: Synalpheus carpenteri was one of the most widespread species in Curaçao (though not the most abundant), occurring in most locations where Agelas cf. clathrodes was usually collected. In life, S. carpenteri in Curaçao can be easily distinguished from other species occupying Agelas cf. clathrodes by the distinctive, brilliant orange coloring of the body and developing ovaries. S. carpenteri can also be distinguished from S. agelas (the most common co-inhabitant in A. cf. clathrodes) by the number of segments on the carpus of the second pereopod (4 in S. agelas, 5 in S. carpenteri).Published as part of Hultgren, Kristin M., Macdonald Iii, Kenneth S. & Duffy, J.

Synalpheus thele Macdonald, Hultgren & Duffy 2009
No full textSynalpheus thele Macdonald, Hultgren & Duffy 2009 Material examined. Barbados: 2 non-ovigerous individuals (VIMS 08BR 6709), Cement Factory, from Hyattella intestinalis. 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR 1401), Spawnee Reef, from H. intestinalis. 1 ovigerous female, 1 non-ovigerous individual (VIMS 08BR 701), Spawnee Reef, from Hymeniacidon caerulea. 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR 802), Spawnee Reef, no host unknown. 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR 9905), Thunder Bay, from Spirastrella sp. Largest ovigerous female, CL 3.28 mm, largest non-ovigerous individual, CL 3.22 mm. Color. Ovigerous females had pale grass-green ovaries. Hosts and ecology. In Barbados, S thele was found primarily in the sponges Hyattella intestinalis and Hymeniacidon caerulea, but not in Agelas clathrodes, which was the only known sponge hosting S. thele in Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2009). Distribution. Discovery Bay, Jamaica (Macdonald et al. 2009); Barbados (this study). Remarks. In Barbados, S. thele can be distinguished from other morphologically similar species in the S. brooksi complex by several characters. For instance, the tuft of setae on the minor chela forms two parallel rows in S. thele, but forms a thick brush in other members of the complex. The distodorsal protuberance of the major chela in S. thele is short and distinctly rounded distally, unlike the longer and more acute protuberance of S. idios and S. bousfiel di in Barbados.Published as part of Hultgren, Kristin M., Iii, Kenneth S Macdonald & Duffy, Emmett, 2011, Sponge-dwelling snapping shrimps (Alpheidae: Synalpheus) of Barbados, West Indies, with a description of a new eusocial species, pp. 1-16 in Zootaxa 2834 on page 13, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20807

Synalpheus hoetjesi Hultgren, Macdonald 2010
No full textSynalpheus hoetjesi Hultgren, Macdonald, & Duffy 2010 Material examined. Barbados: 2 ovigerous females, 8 non-ovigerous individuals (VIMS 08BR 6701 –5, 8, 12, 6801), Cement Factory, from Hyattella intestinalis. 1 non-ovigerous individual (VIMS 08BR 6401), Harrison’s Point reef, from Hyattella intestinalis. 1 non-ovigerous individual, 1 ovigerous female (VIMS 08BR 9603 – 4), Thunder Bay, from Agelas clathrodes. Largest ovigerous female, CL 3.84 mm, largest non-ovigerous individual, CL 3.26 mm. Color. Semitransparent with dull brown major chelae; females with dull olive to orange ovaries and brownish to yellowish-orange embryos. Hosts and ecology. In Barbados, Synalpheus hoetjesi was collected in the sponges Hyattella intestinalis and Agelas clathrodes; it also occurs in the sponges Hyattella intestinalis, Xestospongia proxima, and X. subtriangularis in Curaçao (Hultgren et al. 2010). Distribution. Curaçao (Hultgren et al. 2010); Barbados (this study); Caribbean Panama (Hultgren & Duffy 2011). Remarks. The Barbados specimens of Synalpheus hoetjesi were similar in morphology to type specimens from Hyattella intestinalis in Curaçao and grouped with these specimens in phylogenetic trees based on DNA sequences (Hultgren et al. 2010; Hultgren & Duffy 2011). They can be distinguished from the related S. ul Rios and Duffy by the relative width of the distal telson spines (medial spines distinctly thicker than lateral spines in S. hoetjesi, similar in thickness in S. ul) and relatively larger body size (CL = 3.29 MM ± 0.144 SE for S. hoetjesi vs. 2.37 mm CL ± 0.107 for S. ul), and from S. pandionis by the development of the scaphocerite blade (generally absent or vestigial in S. hoetjesi vs.> 40 % of the length of scaphocerite spine in S. pandionis).Published as part of Hultgren, Kristin M., Iii, Kenneth S Macdonald & Duffy, Emmett, 2011, Sponge-dwelling snapping shrimps (Alpheidae: Synalpheus) of Barbados, West Indies, with a description of a new eusocial species, pp. 1-16 in Zootaxa 2834 on page 6, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20807

MaxCL ovigerous female: 3.78 mm. MaxCL non-ovigerous individual: 3.17 mm. Color. Bright orange overall, distal portion of major chela typically even brighter orange; embryos and ovaries are also an intense bright orange. Hosts and ecology. Synalpheus carpenteri appears to be a specialist inhabiting sponges of the genus Agelas. In Jamaica, S. carpenteri was found in large numbers, typically in relatively equal sex ratios, and was the most commonly found shrimp in both A. cf. clathrodes and A. cf. dispar. This contrasts with the situation in Belize (Macdonald et al. 2006; Rios and Duffy 2007) and Caribbean Panama (Macdonald and Duffy 2007), where S. carpenteri is less common and typically occurs as one or a few pairs per sponge. Distribution. Bahamas (as S. bousfieldi in part, Dardeau 1984; Macdonald and Duffy 2007); Caribbean Panama (Macdonald and Duffy 2006); Belize (Macdonald et al. 2006; Macdonald and Duffy 2006; Ríos and Duffy 2007); Jamaica (this study). Remarks. Synalpheus carpenteri is another member of a complex of closely related, morphologically similar species that includes S. brooksi, S. bousfieldi, S. chacei, S. corallinus n. sp., S. plumosetosus n. sp., and S. thele n. sp. (see Table 3). In life it is easily distinguishable from all other members of the complex by the intense orange color, especially the brilliant orange of the ovaries and developing embryos (see Color Plate 2 C). In preserved specimens, it can be recognized by the short, wide telson and usually by the extremely short distolateral spines of the basicerite and scaphocerite. However, two of the new species described here (S. corallinus and S. plumosetosus) also have basicerite and scaphocerite distolateral spines that rarely reach beyond the distal margin of the second segment of the antennular peduncle. Synalpheus carpenteri can be differentiated from S. corallinus by the width of the telson (telson length/proximal margin width ratio averages 0.75 in S. carpenteri and 1.19 in S. corallinus) and by the presence of a thick brush of setae on the dactyl of the minor chela (vs. two closely set, longitudinal rows of setae in S. corallinus), and from S. plumosetosus by the stouter telson (ratio of length/proximal margin width ~ 0.75 in S. carpenteri vs. ~ 1.04 in S. plumosetosus) and by the lack of plumose setae in the minor chela setal brush.Published as part of Iii, Kenneth S Macdonald, Hultgren, Kristin & Duffy, Emmett, 2009, The sponge-dwelling snapping shrimps (Crustacea, Decapoda, Alpheidae, Synalpheus) of Discovery Bay, Jamaica, with descriptions of four new species, pp. 1-57 in Zootaxa 2199 on pages 15-16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18956
