Platylambrus serratus (H. Milne Edwards, 1834)

Lambrus serratus H. Milne Edwards, 1834: 357 .

Material examined. None.

Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA (North Carolina, Florida), Bermuda, Bahamas, Gulf of Mexico, Antilles, Costa Rica, Colombia, Guianas, Suriname, and Brazil (Maranhão, Piauí, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, São Paulo) (Rathbun 1898, 1901; Hay & Shore 1918; Boone 1930; Holthuis 1959 as Lambrus serratus; Williams 1965; Coelho & Ramos 1972; Powers 1977; Abele & Kim 1986; Campos & Manjarés 1991; Barreto et al. 1993; Moran & Dittel 1993 as Parthenope serrata; Almeida et al. 2007a; Felder et al. 2009; Mendonça et al. 2019).

Remarks. Previous records on the coast of São Paulo include Guarujá where specimens might have been unloaded at fishing harbours (Severino-Rodrigues et al. 2007). However, the specimens identification may be doubtful, since few works assumed a continuous distribution range that included São Paulo (Barreto et al. 1993; Melo 1996, 1998).
