Kemponia platycheles. It was switched into this genus a couple of years ago so you'll find it in older IP guide books & on the web as Periclimenes platycheles.
OP
Thanx very much Leslie!
Does it have a common name, too?

Long-arm shrimp - but a lot of shrimp have the same common name.

Having been told that a recently collected specimen is most likely a K. platycheles, I wanted to find more information which led me to this thread. The specimen shown in the photograph is actualy a member of the Kemponia tenuipes complex. The possible K. platycheles specimen that I have is shown at chucksaddiction.com/car038.html. Very nice photo by the way!
