Type locality.
off Guarapari,
Espirito
Santo state, Brazil.
Distribution.
Brazil, from Bahia to
Espirito
Santo states (Abrolhos Bank and Royal Charlotte Bank), at 5-10 m depth.
Remarks.
This species was recently described based on a study of several specimens from the central area of the Brazilian coast, where it is an endemic occurring along a coastline of approximately 500 km length. Some aspects of external morphology are similar to those of
P. curacaoensis
and may reflect a correlated evolutionary history between the two species. Although
Stampar et al. (2014b)
presented some biological information mainly related to the reproduction seasons, little is known about the ecology and biology of this species. The species is endangered as its range suffers from high levels of anthropogenic pressure (Miranda and Marques, 2016), which could result in the loss of its habitat.
Type material.

Sao
Paulo (MZSP) - 1949 (Holotype).
