discussion
Remarks. Commensal of several echinoderms, especially sea stars of the genus Luigia Forbes, 1839 (Haig 1956; Gore & Shoup 1968; Veloso & Melo 1993; Melo 1999; Hernández et al. 2005), the species is mainly benthonic but also found, despite less frequently, on sandy bottoms from the intertidal region to 59 m depth (Melo 1999; Fransozo et al. 2011), probably after detaching from the host. It is the only species of the family included on the Red List of the Brazilian Crustacean fauna (Mantelatto & Miranda 2016), under the criteria DD (data deficient). Sequence accession number (GenBank): CCDB 5530 — 16 S (MF 490157) (Mantelatto et al. 2018).
