Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA (Florida), Gulf of Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, and Brazil (Pará, Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina) ( Rathbun 1918; Chace & Hobbs 1969; Crane 1975; Bezerra 2012; Masunari et al. 2020).

Remarks. Previous records on the coast of São Paulo include Cananéia ( Gerlach 1958), Ubatuba, and Cubatão ( Bezerra 2012). According to Masunari et al. (2020), the occurrence in Piauí is probable but not officially recorded and this species is easily confused with other species of Brazilian fiddler crabs, due a very narrow triangular front. Sequences accession number (GenBank): CCDB 1930—16S ( KU313150 View Materials ), COI ( KU313431 View Materials ) ( Mantelatto et al. 2018a).
