Remarks.
Reptadeonella violacea
is widespread in mostly warm-temperate areas, although in the Atlantic it reaches the
Isle of Man
(
Hayward & Ryland, 1999
). It is abundant in the Mediterranean,
Cape Verde
Islands, West Africa, Gulf of
Mexico
,
Brazil
and the Pacific Coast of North
America
(
Hayward & Ryland, 1999
). In Madeira,
R. violacea
was previously recorded by
Norman (1909)
and is fairly common on the south coast of the island (Canning-Clode and Kaufmann, pers. obs.).
