Material examined.
CAGoM-0731, CAGoM-0732, CAGoM-0736, Chel 1, 0 m, 21-03-2018, leg. R.M. Rocha.
Remarks.
This is another widespread species that was probably introduced in the southern Gulf of Mexico, yet we only found it in one harbor. The high salinity tolerance has been observed in Margarita Island, Venezuela where the species has also been found in an estuary with salinity> 50 ppt ( Rocha et al. 2010).
