Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA (Virginia to Florida), Gulf of Mexico to Brazil (Amapá, Pará, Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul). Eastern Atlantic— Cape Verde and Senegal to Angola. Eastern Pacific—Mexico (Baja California) to Peru, including Galapagos and Clipperton Islands ( Holthuis 1959; Powers 1977; Lemaitre 1981; Barreto et al. 1993; Almeida & Coelho 2008; Melo 2008, 2010; Felder et al. 2009; Mantelatto et al. 2009).

Remarks. Previous records in São Paulo include Ubatuba ( Mantelatto & Fransozo 2000; Bertini et al. 2004, 2010; Alves et al. 2012b, 2013b), Ilha Vitória ( Alves et al. 2012a), Caraguatatuba ( Braga et al. 2005), Santos-São Vicente estuary and bay complex ( Pita et al. 1985; Sant’Anna et al. 2012). The taxonomic status of the genus and the doubtfull relationships between Pacific and American species were elucidated using molecular analysis ( Mantelatto et al. 2009). Sequences accession number (GenBank): CCDB 3606—16S ( MF490174 ) ( Mantelatto et al. 2018a), CCDB 1419—COI ( MT623339 ) (present study).
