Abstract

We present herein the results of a brief field survey of species of Macrobrachium Spence Bate, 1868 in three points of the northern portion of the lower Parnaíba River basin. The northern region of the lower Parnaíba River basin is part of the Environmental Protection Area Delta do Parnaíba and comprises several lakes, coastal lagoons, and the delta of the Parnaíba River. In total, we found five species: Macrobrachium acanthurus (Wiegmann, 1836), Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862), Macrobrachium carcinus (Linnaeus, 1758), Macrobrachium jelskii (Miers, 1877), and Macrobrachium olfersii (Wiegmann, 1836) all of which are new records for the region.
