BATHYMETRIC DISTRIBUTION. — Recorded depth in Guadeloupe: 16-50 m; one intact adult shell obtained by KARUBENTHOS 2 between 204-251 m, but it must be regarded with caution. Recorded depth in Martinique: 2- 80 m. Previous recorded depth in the West Atlantic: 0-198 m ( Fernandes & Pimenta 2020).

REMARKS

The shell from Guadeloupe illustrated by Rolán & Fernández-Garcés (2015: fig. 4G) and Lamy & Pointier (2018: pl. 92, fig. 3) as M. rugulosa actually refers to M. taeniolata ( Dall, 1889) .
