Material examined. MC, 1 spc., H = 15 mm, JOC.

Ecology. Shallow water, on anemones under rocks.

Distribution. ABC Islands, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Brazil, Colombia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guadeloupe, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, USA, Venezuela (Valdés et al. 2006. La Restinga, Margarita: Grune et al. 2015: as S. neapolitana ). In the Pacific: Australia, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Japan & Peru (Carmona et al. 2014).

Remarks. Carmona et al. (2014) recently revised the species of the Spurilla neapolitana (Delle Chiaje, 1841) complex, they established that all the records to this species in the Caribbean were owed to S. braziliana , but omitted several records (recovered here), and assumed as their own the record of the species in Cuba, which is indeed owed to Espinosa et al. (2006).
