Penaeuse ?brasiliensis (or notialis) - Guadeloupe, Karubenthos II 2015, field det. J. Poupin, st. CP4529, 11 June 2015, 16°24.4'N, 61°33.68'W, 176-183 m, MNHN-IU-2013-18879; st. CP4623, 26 June 2015, 15°55.72'N, 61°31.02'W, 217-182 m, MNHN-IU-2013-19101.
Comment: Photo determination of Karubenthos II specimens is based on red coloration, with 1-2 red patches at juncture of 3rd and 4th lateral abdominal segments and tip of tail bluish-purple. However, Penaeus notialis (Pérez Farfante, 1967) cannot be excluded and characters indicated in Pérez Farfante (1969) key must checked on the specimens.
