Remarks. This species was originally described from off Barbados (13º10’00” N; 59º39’00” W, depth 400–530 m) and off St. Cruz (St. Croix) (17°45'00” N; 64°45'00” W), depth 455m, in the Caribbean Sea (Schmidt, 1880). It has also been recorded off South Africa (Tabachnick, 2002). In Chile this species has been recorded by Ijima (1901) from an unidentified location off Chile in 3200 m and in the Nazca ridge in several seamounts (recorded as R. peru) by the RV Professor Shtockman (24°56’18” S to 24º58’12” S; 88°32’36” W to 88º29'48” W) at a depth of 580– 564 m (Tabachnick, 1990; Tabachnick, 2002). Due to the sparse records and the distant distribution, the Chilean specimens may represent a different species. This species has not been registered in Chile again.
