Previous records. Duffy, 1992: 131 [San Blas Islands]; Duffy, 1996: 309 [San Blas Islands; as S. rathbunae B]; Morrison et al., 2004: 575 [San Blas Islands]; Tóth and Bauer, 2007: 1877 [Bocas del Toro]; Tóth and Duffy, 2005: 49 [Bocas del Toro]; Anker et al., 2012: 65 [ Panama].

Remarks. A rather uncommon Caribbean species, known with certainty only from the Lesser Antilles (St. Thomas, St. Martin, Guadeloupe) and Panama ( Anker et al., 2012), although likely more widespread in the region; lives in small eusocial groups in cryptic sponges, 10– 55 m.
