Zootaxa(1925):14-22.
A new species of pontoniine shrimp, Periclimenes guarapari sp. nov., is described from Espirito Santo, Brazil. The new species belongs to the P. iridescens complex and is closely related to P. iridescens, from which it may be distinguished by the armature of the second pereiopod and differences in the spination of the third pereiopod. The hosts of P. guarapari sp. nov. are the plexaurid gorgonians, Muricea flammea and Plexaurella grandiflora.
