Nematopaguroides fagei Forest & de Saint Laurent, 1968: 157, figs. 136–141.

Material examined. None.

Distribution. Western Atlantic— USA (Florida), Gulf of Mexico, Brazil (Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) (Rieger 1998; Melo 1999; Coelho et al. 2007; Felder et al. 2009; Nucci & Melo 2011).

Remarks. Nucci & Melo (2011) reported few individuals obtained in São Paulo during the deep-water surveys in the Project REVIZEE (st. 6658, 3 spec., MZUSP 13908). According to these authors, there are two close species known from Brazil ( Nematopaguroides fagei and N. pusillus) that can be differentiated by the sexual tubes.
