Remarks

Tryphosites chevreuxi Stebbing, 1914 is extensively distributed in the Magellanic area and it has a wide latitudinal range, extending north to La Plata River in Argentina, to Uruguay and to Valparaíso in Chile. The species has been found associated with algae and inhabiting sandy bottoms, having a large bathymetric range between medium intertidal and more than 300 m depth. Present records expand its geographical and bathymetrical distribution north of Argentina, and are new for Uruguay.
