| Zusammenfassung: | The taxonomy of three species of the Alpheus "Edwardsii" group from the Galapagos Islands is discussed. Diagnoses of A. bouvieri A. Milne-Edwards, 1878 and A. hebes Kim & Abele, 1988 are provided. Additional morphological characteristics of A. hebes are discussed. Examination of specimens revealed that A. galapagensis Sivertsen, 1933 is indistinguishable from A. canalis Kim & Abele, 1988. Alpheus galapagensis is redescribed and A. canalis is synonymized with it. Information on natural habitat and living color of these species is provided. |
