Previous records. Williams et al., 2001: 377

[Caribbean Panama].

Material examined. Bocas del Toro. 1 spec., Isla Colón, Punta Caracol, sand, coral rubble, sea grass, in rubble, 0.5–2 m, leg. A. Anker et al., 27.04.2015, MZUSP 33921 View Materials . Isla Grande. 1 spec., western point, leg. A.Anker et al., 09.12.2006, OUMNH. ZC .2011-03- 070; 1 spec.,same collection data, OUMNH. ZC .2011- 03-072; 1 spec., same collection location, leg. A. Anker et al., 04.09.2006, OUMNH. ZC .2011-03-071.

Remarks. Throughout the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico southwards to Trindade Island off Espírito Santo, Brazil ( Soledade and Almeida, 2013); usually on coral reefs and sea grass beds with rubble, between 0 and 25 m. Possibly more than one species involved, records from much deeper water (145 m) off north-eastern USA are highly questionable (Anker et al., 2016).
