Sampling/reporting sites.

In Peru, it was reported in Ballestas Islands (Lima, 13°43'S) ( Schrödl and Hooker 2014). In Chile, it was reported in Gulf of Ancud (42°06′S) (Marcus 1959) and Comau Fjord (42°22′S) ( Schrödl et al. 2005).

Remarks.

Peruvian presence of this species was surprising for the discoverers ( Schrödl and Hooker 2014) since it was considered a Magellanic species, being very abundant in the fjords of southern Chile (41-44°S) ( Schrödl 1996a, 1999b, 2003, 2009).
