Abstract

This contribution reports on the occurrence of the estuarine cirolanid isopod Cirolana (Anopsilana) jonesi, from the Brazilian coast, significantly extending its geographical range. The material analysed was obtained in estuaries in the state of Bahia, associated with beds of Crassostrea rhizophorae, in salinities of 14 and 16. The huge gap in the species distribution in northern and north-eastern Brazil is probably due to the lack of collections in mangroves or other estuarine microhabitats.
