Remark

Euprognatha acuta A. Milne-Edwards, 1880 is accepted in WoRMS (2023). The distinction between Euprognatha rastellifera Stimpson, 1871 and E. acuta A. Milne-Edwards, 1880 is, nevertheless, difficult because of the great variation in the ornamentation of the carapace ( Williams 1984; Felder et al. 2009: note 291; Carmona-Suárez & Poupin 2016). Santana & Tavares (2008: 326) accepted only E. rastellifera , with a highly variable morphology. It is widely distributed in WA, from off Georges Bank to Uruguay.
