Remarks.
Carmona
et al.
(2014) recently revised the species of the
Spurilla neapolitana
(Delle Chiaje, 1841)
complex, they established that all the records to this species in the Caribbean were owed to
S. braziliana
, but omitted several records (recovered here), and assumed as their own the record of the species in
Cuba
, which is indeed owed to Espinosa
et al.
(2006).
