Diagnosis . See CardOsO (2013) . Geographic distribution . Western Atlantic: East COast United States Of America (between 39° 57' N and 32° 18' N , New Jersey ), Gulf Of MexicO , Antilles, COlOmbia and Brazil : ( Rio Grande do Norte and RiO de JaneirO ). East Atlantic: COngO , Cabinda , AngOla . IndO-West Pacific: East COast Africa, Zanzibar , Gulf Of Aden, Maldives , Andaman Sea, Sahara, Talisman. NOrtheastern Atlantic: MOrOccO , Senegal ( Fig. 4 ) ( Kensley 1968 ; CrOsnier & FOrest 1973 ; Smith 1882 1887 ; Cruz et al . 2002 ; CardOsO 2013 ). Bathymetric distribution . This species inhabits depths between 294–3440 m ( Calman 1939 ; Barnard 1950 ; Cruz et al . 2002 ; Felder et al . 2009 ). In SOuthwestern Atlantic (Brazilian waters) between 529–1435 m depth ( KOmai 2008 ; CardOsO 2013 ). In POtiguar Basin between 996– 2025 m . Remarks . The specimens herein examined fits well with the descriptiOn given by Cruz (2002) and KOmai (2008) , which the anteriOr epigastric tOOth reduced Or absent, pOsteriOr epigastric and cardiac teeth medium sized ( Fig. 3 B ). CardOsO (2013) Observed an individual Of P . gracilis cOllected in the Brazilian waters (CampOs Basin), between states Of EspíritO SantO and RiO de JaneirO , with epigastric tOOth reduced as Observed in the material redescribed by KOmai (2008) , frOm Gulf Of MexicO (mOuth Of Mississippi and Dry TOrtugas ), Caribbean Sea (Antilles) and Africa (Iberia-MOrOccO, Sahara, Talisman, Senegal , COngO , Cabinda and AngOla ). The individuals Of P . gracilis frOm POtiguar Basin present the epigastric tOOth rudimentary and the cardiac tOOth mOderately small in superiOr regiOn Of the carapace ( Fig. 3 B ) (see Others mOrphOlOgical cOmparisOns in Table 1 ). Thus, this species have the secOnd repOrt fOr SOuthwestern Atlantic (Brazilian waters) in this paper.
