Coryrhynchus algicola (Stebbing, 1914)

Material examined (N=1). 1ni, 19/IX/2000, 13°52’99”S / 38°59’59”W (MZUESC #53).

Distribution. Western Atlantic – Colombia and Brazil (from Maranhão to São Paulo) (Melo 1996).

Ecological notes. On sand and calcareous algae bottoms. From 24 to 90 m (Melo 1996). Previous records in Bahia. Coelho (1971) (as Podochela riisei Stimpson, 1860), Coelho & Ramos (1972) (as P. algicola), Barreto et al. (1993) (as P. algicola), Coelho (2006), Almeida et al. (2007). Remarks. Coelho (2006) recorded this species from Camamu Bay in his recent review of the genus Podochela Stimpson, 1860, in the Caribbean and Atlantic coast of South America. The main difference between the species of the genera Coryrhynchus Kingsley, 1879 and Podochela, is in the shape of the rostrum, rounded and triangular, respectively, never ending in a spine, as is the case with some other inachid genera (Coelho 2006).
