Parapinnixa hendersoni Rathbun, 1918 View in CoL

Material examined (N=2). 1m, 24/IV/2004, St. 0 4 ( MZUESC #697).

Distribution. Western Atlantic – Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Antilles, Venezuela, and Brazil (Maranhão, Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Paraná) ( Melo et al. 1989; Melo 1996).

Ecological notes. On sand and broken-coral bottoms, or free-swimming. From 40 to 60 m ( Melo 1996).

Previous records in Bahia. Righi (1967), Barreto et al. (1993).

Remarks. This species seems to be common in the northern hemisphere ( Powers 1977; Williams 1984; Nizinski 2003). Records in Brazil are rare: Maranhão ( Coelho & Ramos 1972), Bahia ( Righi 1967), Espírito Santo ( Barreto et al. 1993), and Paraná ( Melo et al. 1989). The material from Bahia analyzed by Righi (1967) was collected at Abrolhos.
