Distribution. First record of Steindachneria argentea in the WSA. Collected from off Bahia, at depths from 100 to 607. It was described from off the Mississippi delta, Gulf of Mexico (39°14’ N, 88°09’ W), and is known from the Straits of Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and Venezuela (Cohen et al. 1990); more recently, Hartel et al. (2008) recorded it in southern Hudson Canyon, off New England, considerably increasing the known distribution of the species.
