Distribution. Collected from off Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, at depths from 182 to 616 m; one specimen collected at 1645–1762 m is understood as an accidental catch during net transition since this is a well known shallow water species (Cohen et al. 1990). Urophycis mystacea was described from off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and is generally regarded as the species from southern Brazil to Argentina. Cousseau (1993) suggest that U. mystacea is a junior synonym of U. cirrata (Goode & Bean 1896) , which currently regarded as the species from Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and Venezuela to off the mouth of the Orinoco River (Cohen et al. 1990; Menezes 2003b).
