Anoplodactylus petiolatus (Krǿyer, 1844) View in CoL

Distribution: Widely distributed in tropical and temperate zones of the Atlantic Ocean (including Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina); Mediterranean and Black Seas ( Stock 1966, 1975, 1992; Raiskii & Turpaeva 2006; Müller & Krapp 2009; Lehmann et al. 2014; Esquete et al. 2016).

Uruguayan records: Carranza et al (2007a): littoral.

Remarks: Wide global distribution and a lengthy synonymy suggest that this name may apply to a species complex; more taxonomic studies are needed for determining its status, either native, exotic or cryptogenic.
