Upogebia marina Coelho, 1973

Material examined (N=1). 1ni, 31/X/2004, St. 0 8 (MZUESC #699) .

Distribution. Western Atlantic – Venezuela and Brazil (from Pará to São Paulo) (Melo 1999).

Ecological notes. On calcareous algae, coral and sand bottoms; also in estuaries. Collected between 11 and 90 m (Coelho 1997a; Melo 1999).

Previous records in Bahia. None.

Remarks. Since its description, U. marina has been reported from almost all Brazilian states from Pará to Sergipe (Coelho 1997a). South of Sergipe, there is only one record at present, for São Paulo (Nucci & Melo 1999), which indicates a vast gap with no records between these two states.
