Material examined. Bocas del Toro. 1 spec., Isla Colón , Boca del Drago, on sand under rocks, less than 1 m, leg. A. Anker et al., 29.04.2007, OUMNH. ZC .2011-03-013; 1 spec., Isla Carenero , northern side, 09°20.675’N 082°13.762’W, in crevice of sunken tree trunk, 0.5 m, leg. B. Martínez-Guerrero, 06.08.2008, OUMNH. ZC GoogleMaps .2008-14-098.

Remarks. Amphi-Atlantic taxon, in the western Atlantic distributed from Puerto Rico southwards to Santa Catarina, Brazil ( Soledade and Almeida, 2013), appears to be much more common in Brazil; usually found under rocks in sandy-rocky habitats, 0– 30 m. The specimens from Bocas del Toro represent the first record of the species for Panama.
