Abstract.—The species composition of Penaeidea and Caridea shrimp was studied in Ubatuba Bay, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Samples were taken monthly from September 1995 to August 1996, using two double-rig trawling nets. A total of 21 marine species were obtained, belonging to eight families. Ser- gestoids were represented by a single species of Sergestidae, while penaeoids comprised three families, , Sicyoniidae and Solenoceridae. Caridea shrimps belonged to two superfamilies, the , represented by Pa- laemonidae; and by three families, , and Hip- polytidae. Sicyonia laevigata Stimpson, 1871 and Nematopalaemon schmitti (Holthuis, 1950) represent first records in Sao Paulo State, Brazil.

Seven families of Material and Methods shrimps, represented by 26 genera and 61 species, have been reported for the Brazil­ Ubatuba Bay is located on the northern ian Coast (D'Incao 1995). For the Pleocye- part of Sao Paulo State (23°25'00" to mata, Holthuis (1993) listed 15 caridean su­ 23°27'34"S and 45°00'30" to 45°03'30"W), perfamilies and 31 families. Among these, where the coastline consists of several inlets most representatives belonged to Alpheo­ and major bays. According to Castro Filho idea and Palaemonoidea with 38 and 48 et al.
