Remarks

Widely distributed in the Tropical West Atlantic, the species is here recorded for the first time in Martinique. Most of the specimens were collected at two stations, one off the Presqu’Île de la Caravalle (Atlantic coast) and the other at Baie de Fort-de-France; one record from Le Prêcheur (north Caribbean coast).

Distribution

Tropical West Atlantic: Caribbean ( Venezuela, Panama, Florida, Columbia, Barbados, Martinique, Bonaire, Curaçao) and Brazil (Pernambuco and Paraíba).

Depth range

0– 30 m.
