Distribution
. East Pacific:

and
Peru
(
Haig, 1962
;
Gore & Abele, 1976
;
Hiller
et al.
, 2004
;
Moscoso 2012
).
Ecology
. Mostly subtidal, rarely in the intertidal, known depth range:
0–80 m
; on mud, sand, and sand and shells substrates; no commensal association reported so far (
Haig 1960
;
Gore & Abele 1976
).
Remarks
.
Porcellana hancocki
is closely related to the western Atlantic
P. sigsbeiana
A.
Milne-Edwards, 1880
, differing from the latter by the much longer and slender P2–P4 (
Haig 1960
). It is poorly known species, with only a few records (including one from
Panama
) and no information on its life colour pattern.
