Material examined.
BIOREPES 3 stn. A10, 1 male.
Additional material examined.
SIGSBEE 9 stn. A4, 1 ovigerous female.
Remarks.
We collected two individuals off Laguna Madre, Tamaulipas; and off Tamiahua Lagoon, Veracruz (WSW) from 344.5 to 351.0 m depth. We captured one male (CL = 3.6 mm) in autumn and one ovigerous female in summer (CL = 7.4 mm). Both data represent the first record of the species in the entire Gulf of Mexico.
