ABSTRACT
Previous records of the callianassid ghost shrimps Biffarius biformis (Biffar, 1971) and Biffarius fragilis (Biffar, 1970) from Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, were considered as doubtful, because their original record (Carvalho et al. 1997) in a conference abstract cannot be considered as a valid publication. The original material examined by Carvalho et al. (1997) combined with the more recently collected material of B. biformis and B. fragilis, confirm the presence of these two species in Brazil and the southwestern Atlantic. Taxonomic and ecological remarks, as well as illustrations, are provided for both species.
RESUMO
A ocorrência dos camarões fantasma Biffarius biformis (Biffar 1971) e Biffarius fragilis (Biffar 1970) no nordeste do Brasil têm sido considerada duvidosa, porque o registro original (Carvalho et al. 1997) realizado em resumo durante uma conferência regional não pode ser considerado válido. Neste trabalho, o estudo dos espécimens examinados por Carvalho et al. (1997), combinados com o material coletado mais recentemente, confirma a presença dessas duas espécies na costa brasileira e no sudoeste do Atlântico. São fornecidas novas informações taxonômicas, ecológicas e ilustrações.
