REMARKS
The examined sample is the first outside the Canopus Bank, a bank located off Fortaleza,
Ceará
. This new occurrence expands the geographic distribution little more than
1000 km
southwards. The weakly sculptured shell is one of the characters of this species (
Fig. 3J, K
), as well as the sinuous, high variable shell borders (
Fig. 3I, L
) which fit in the cnidarian colony in which the animal lives (
Simone 2005b
; Braga-Henriques
et al
. 2010).
