Remarks. Species was originally described based on material from RS ( type locality), Acaraú, CE ( 80 m)and RN ( 22 m). The northeastern samples (from CE and RN) were collected from shallow water using lobster traps ( Lemos de Castro, 1978). Magalhães and Young (2003) examined material from the REVIZEE Central project and extended the distribution of B. miyarei to the southeastern Brazilian coast, with a depth range from the outer continental shelf to the slope ( 230–800m).
