Distribution.
Western Atlantic—

),
Colombia

Brazil
(
São Paulo
, Santa Catarina) (

).
Remarks.
The absence of specimens collected by us is probably due to our sampling effort in shallow waters. This species is collected between 129 and
860 m
depth (
Melo-Filho 2006
). We found
one specimen
deposited in the MZUSP collection obtained during the N.Oc. “Prof. W. Besnard” (MZUSP 13252, st. 6693,
26°41ʹS
/
046°27ʹW
,
430 m
) in
19.i.1998
, and it extends significantly the southern limits of this species towards the area of occurrence of
M. polita
(
Melo-Filho 2006
)
. Eventhough the author informed the occurrence in
São Paulo
, the coordinates furnished for this specimen (
Table 1
, p. 3) seem to belong to the waters of Santa Catarina state, in
Brazil
.
