Material examined. Bocas del Toro. 1 spec., Swan Cay, 09°27.200’N 082°17.900’W, on sea anemone Actinoporus elegans , leg. S. De Grave, 04.08.2005, OUMNH. ZC GoogleMaps .2005-10-017.

Remarks. Circum-tropical taxon, in the western Atlantic recorded from Bermuda and the northern Gulf of Mexico southwards to at least Fernando de Noronha, Brazil ( Felder et al., 2009). Although recorded from the Pacific coast of Panama by Abele (1976), the herein studied material represents the first record of T. amboinensis for the Caribbean coast of Panama. The species is usually found in close proximity to sea anemones and other cnidarians, at depths of about 0– 10 m.
