Description
Summary:P. pandionis , a small marine shrimp, was described by Holthuis (1951) from a single female specimen. The species has apparently not been reported since Holthuis' description in his monograph of American Palaemonidae. During a series of recolonization experiments 26 specimens of Periclimenes pandionis were obtained. The authors provide supplemental data on both males and females of P. pandionis , including illustrations of several characters not discussed by Holthuis. The authors also provide a description and illustrations of the first 2 zoeal stages for the species, and briefly compare the larvae to those known from one other western Atlantic species of Periclimenes .
