Remarks.
We collected 15 individuals in front of Grijalva-Usumacinta Rivers, Tabasco; Campeche Bank, Campeche; at 560.0-1040.0 m. Females CL range was 10.8-10.9 mm, whereas the CL for males varied between 5.0-12.3 mm. The ovigerous females (CL = 8.9 to 11.9 mm) were collected in summer at 976.0-1040.0 m. It is the first time that this species is recorded in the SSE and SSW sectors. It was previously reported in sector ESE; Caribbean and South America (
