---

Environnement : Marine - Substrat/Association : Associated with sponges

Vertical range : Shallow-waters (0-100 m) - Min-Max observed: 0-22 m

Central Pacific data (Wallis & Futuna, Polynesia, Clipperton, Easter Island)
Amphipalaemon seurati Nobili, 1906a: 259; 1907: 364, pl. 1, fig. 3 ("Tearia" = Mangareva; 22m). - Seurat, 1934: 51, 60 ("Gatavake" = Mangareva; in Freshwater, see remark). - Anchistioides compressus - Bruce, 1967: 570 (Nobili's material). - POUPIN, 1998: 11 (Checklist). - Remark: According to Bruce (pers. communication), Anchistoides species are common in a variety of sponge and, on occasion, in tunicate. Freshwater record of Seurat is certainly erroneous.

Comment(s) on data
Formerly in Anchistioididae but see Chow et al. (2020, JCB) - The family Anchistioididae Borradaile, 1915 (Decapoda: Caridea) is a synonym of Palaemonidae Rafinesque, 1815 based on molecular and morphological evidence
