Abstract
The beach-hopper Speziorchestia tucurauna (Muller 1864) is reported for the first time from Fernando de Noronha Archipelago. This is the second record of S. tucuraunafrom an oceanic island, which has been reported from Rocas Atoll, and the first record of Talitridae for the island. Seven beaches along the island were surveyed, and S. tucurauna was reported only for Sueste beach. The brackish environment provided by the unique oceanic mangrove of the South Atlantic located at Sueste beach may favor the species survival during the dry season.
