Synalpheus aff. brevicarpus — Ashrafi & Hultgren, 2022, Invertebrate Systematics): 398, Martinique [MADIBENTHOS, 1 male (CL 8.3 mm), MNHN-IU-2014-1233, sta. AM-034, 14°36.1'N, 60°04'W, 0–1 m, 29.ix.2016; 1 male (CL 7.3 mm), MNHN-IU- 2016-7412, same data as for preceding; 3 male, (CL 7.25, 6.5 and 4.1 mm), MNHN-IU-2014-1248; Through combination of both morphological and molecular data, this species might be new to science. However, we prefer to postpone describing new species in the S. brevicarpus group until the status of S. brevicarpus sensu stricto and S. brevicarpus guerini is clear.].
