Abstract
In the Brazilian fauna, the Dendobranchiata are represented by 7 families, 26 genera, and 61 species (DTncao, 1995a). During the 1990s the species, Aris teus antillensis A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1909, Aristaeopsis edwardsiana (Johnson, 1867), Benthesicymus bartletti Smith, 1882, Sicyonia stimpsoni Bou vier, 1905, Sergestes armatus Kr0yer, 1855, S. corniculum Kr0yer, 1855, Sergia prehensilis (Bate, 1881), and S. regalis (Gordon, 1939) were collected during the project "Recursos Vivos da Zona Econ?mica Brasileira (REVIZEE)" carried out along the Brazilian coast (Ramos-Porto et al., 2000; Santos et al., 2002; Silva et al., 2002; Cardoso & Serejo, 2003). Yet, three non-indigenous, introduced shrimp species can be found in Brazil, i.e., Penaeus monodon Fabricius, 1798, Metape naeus monoceros (Fabricius, 1798) (both Indo-West Pacific), and Litopenaeus van namei (Boone, 1931) (eastern Pacific) (Fausto Filho, 1987; DTncao, 1995b; Santos & Coelho, 2002; Tavares & Mendon?a
