Material examined.
None.
Distribution.
Western Atlantic—Bahamas,
Mexico
(
Quintana Roo
), possibly
Antigua
;
Brazil
(
Bahia
and
São Paulo
?) (

Remarks.
Pires-Vanin
et al
. (1997)
included
A
. rectifrons
in a list of taxa sampled in the São Sebastião Channel,
São Paulo
, with no information about its geographic distribution, comments, or morphological accounts. Thus, the record of this species must be carefully considered and its occurrence in
São Paulo
requires further confirmation. Soledade
et al.
(2015) reported the occurrence of
A
.
cf.
rectifrons
in the Abrolhos Archipelago,
Bahia
,
Brazil
. However, some differences between the specimens from Abrolhos and the
type
locality (
Quintana Roo
,
Mexico
) were observed (see Soledade
et al
. 2015 for a detailed comparison). We recommend the analysis of additional samples from both areas to draw a conclusion regarding the identity of the Brazilian material.
