Abstract

Barbouria cubensis cave shrimp Barbouriidae Parhippolyte sterreri San Salvador Bahamas
Sterrer's cave shrimp (Parhippolyte sterreri) is recorded for the first time from San Salvador Island, Bahamas. A single adult specimen was collected in June 2011 with hand nets at the southern conduit mouth in Mermaid Pond, an anchialine pond on the south-east corner of the island. Twelve additional specimens were collected in June 2013 from two additional sites near Mermaid Pond (Dunk City Pond and the Pigeon Creek Conduit). These collections represent a minor range extension of P. sterreri in the Bahamas. Additionally, we report on populations of Barbouria cubensis observed in 17 other anchialine ponds on San Salvador Island.
