Resumo

The stenopodidean shrimp Chicosciencea pernambucensis Bochini, Cunha, Terossi & Almeida, 2020 was described as a new genus and species from northeastern Brazil based on morphological and molecular assessments. J. Goy nevertheless proposed that Chicosciencea Bochini, Cunha, Terossi & Almeida, 2020 is a subjective synonym of Microprosthema Stimpson, 1860. We comment on the synonymy and present the alternative proposition that Chicosciencea is a valid genus, distinctly separated from Microprosthema. (AU)
