Comment: the shape of the rostrum indicate without doubt P. bermudensis for the Guadeloupe specimen. This is the first record for Guadeloupe and an extension of maximum deep range from 20 m to 75-88 m. According to Anker & De Grave (2010) this shrimp can be associated with a variety of sponges (e.g. Aplysina fistularis, Neopetrosia rosariensis).
