Remarks. This species is collected between 667 and 2165 m depth ( Melo-Filho & Melo 2001a), but according to Chace (1942), it can occur from 195 m. We were able only to obtain sequences of a specimen from off the Espírito Santo coast deposited in the MZUSP, which may be useful in future comparisons. Sequences accession numbers (GenBank): MZUSP 16717—16S ( MF490159 ), COI ( MF490055 ) ( Mantelatto et al. 2018).
