Abstract

This study reports a new record of the mantis shrimp Bathysquilla microps (Manning, 1961) from Brazilian deep waters. Five specimens of B. microps (3 males and 2 females) were collected during the ReviZEE surveys, with samples performed in some sites along the Amazonian continental slope, covering the depths between 250 and 1100 m, in June 2001. This new record of B. microps expands its geographic distribution, increasing morphological information about this species.
