Abstract:
Barbouria cubensis von Martens, 1872, Parhippolyte sterreri Hart & Manning, 1981 (Barbouriidae)
and Macrobrachium lucifugum Holthuis, 1974 (Palaemonidae) are recorded for the first time from
anchialine systems on Acklins Island, Bahamas. Seventy-two individuals of B. cubensis, 29 of
P. sterreri, and nine of M. lucifugum were collected in July 2017 from five sites across the island.
We also report on observations on behavior for all three species during collection and of B.
cubensis monitored in a laboratory setting over a two-year period.
