Material examined. Barbados, Carlisle Bay , St. Michael, subtidal, 13°05’07.15”N, 59°36’36.90”W, 1 ♀ (ovig.), 1 Ô CW: 9.1; 10.2 mm ( BLSZ 135 ). Idem, 1 ♀, CW: 10.2 mm ( MZUSP 40912 ) .

Remarks. Specimens of Stenorhynchus seticornis were collected in crab traps that were placed on sandy bottoms (~ 4 m deep) on the west coast of Barbados. Ovigerous females were collected in September 2019. Stenorhynchus seticornis was first reported for Barbados by Schomburgk (1848: 655) as Leptopodia sagittaria ( Fabricius, 1793) , who deposited the specimens of Stenorhynchus seticornis collected in Barbados to the NHM. Additionally, Rathbun (1921: 80) reported two male specimens of Stenorhynchus sagittarius collected in Barbados at depths of 36–169 m (20–94 fathoms) by the Barbados-Antigua Expedition in 1918 (USNM 58047; USNM 73401).
