Material examined. Brazil, São Paulo: 1 ♀ ov, CCDB 5664 View Materials , Ubatuba, Praia do Itaguá , colls. F. Mantelatto et al., 2.xii.2004 ; 1 ♀ ov, CCDB 6709 View Materials , Cananéia, Ilha da Figueira , colls. F. Zara et al., 26.xi.2020 .

Distribution. Western Atlantic— Honduras, Panama, Virgin Islands, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil (Pará, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) ( Werding et al. 2003; Rodríguez et al. 2005; Coelho et al. 2007; Ferreira & Melo 2016; Mendonça et al. 2019).

Remarks. Megalobrachium mortenseni is found in the intertidal region down to depths of 30 m, usually on rocky substrates ( Ferreira & Melo 2016); in sandy bottoms with patches of coral and sea grass beds ( Thalassia Banks ex König, 1805 and Syringodium Kützing, 1860 ) ( Poupin & Lemaitre 2014). The two specimens obtained were collected in colonies of the bryozoan Schizoporella errata ( Waters, 1878) (in Ubatuba) and colonies of leuconoid sponges (in Cananéia). Sequence accession numbers (GenBank): CCDB 6709—16S ( MW753221 View Materials ), COI ( MW753222 View Materials ).
