Records.

Gulf of Naples, Mediterranean Sea ( Claparède 1870), France (Fauvel 1927), Canada (Berkeley & Berkeley 1932), California (Hartman 1947, 1969), Northern Gulf of México (Ewing 1984), Costa Rica (Dean 2001, 2004).

Remarks.

The specimens reported by Bastida-Zavala (1993) as Notomastus lineatus from Baja California Sur are in fact Dasybranchus parplatyceps Kudenov 1975. Hernández-Alcántara and Solís-Weiss (1998) reported Notomastus lineatus for Baja California and Baja California Sur, however, examination of their specimens determined them to be a mixture of Notomastus magnus, Notomastus polyodon, Notomastus cinctus and Notomastus angelicae . The report of Notomastus lineatus are doubtful for western México although the species has been reported from both California (USA) Blake (2000) and the Pacific Costa Rica (Dean, 2001).
