Alves , 16.iv.2019 . Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA (North Carolina, Florida), Bahamas , Gulf of Mexico, Honduras , Central America, Antilles, Brazil (Fernando de Noronha, Amapá , Pará, Maranhão , Piauí , Rio Grande do Norte , Paraíba , Alagoas , Pernambuco , Sergipe , Bahia , Rio de Janeiro , São Paulo ), and Uruguay ( Rathbun 1898 , 1901 ; Powers 1977 ; Lemaitre 1984 as Actaea nodosa ; Williams 1984 ; Keith 1985 ; Barreto et al. 1993 ; Cobo et al. 2002 ; Melo & Veloso 2005 ). Remarks. Previous records on the coast of São Paulo include Ubatuba and Ilha das Couves as P. nodosa ( Cobo et al. 2002 ; Alves et al. 2012a , b). The taxonomy of this species is unclear and should be clarified. Most of the previous records in Brazil were made as P. rufopunctata nodosa (see Coelho et al . 2008 ) and we speculate that distribution also needs elucidation. Sequence accession number (GenBank): CCDB 6436—16S ( MT849291 ) (present study).
