Popis: Abstract The present study provided information extending the known geographical distribution of the calappid crab Cryptosoma balguerii (Desbonne in Desbonne and Schramm, 1867). We provide new data that extends the range of this species in the western Atlantic farther to the south in the Brazilian region, State of São Paulo and check its identification by molecular tools within Cryptosoma and other calappid crabs. New records of marine species provide a baseline for a better understanding of the biodiversity of ecological provinces. This work is an example of the importance of an exhaustive and continuous investigation on the biodiversity of subtidal rocky bottoms.
