Remarks
.
Salmoneus setosus
, although uncommon and rarely collected, is widely distributed in the tropical western and central Atlantic, with records from
Mexico
(
Yucatan
and Cozumel),
Cayman Islands
(Little Cayman Island),
Panama
(
Bocas del Toro
),
Brazil
(Atol das Rocas, Fernando de Noronha, Trindade and Martin Vaz Archipelago) and
Ascension Island
(type-locality) (

;
Anker 2007
,
2010a
;
Anker
et al.
2016
;
De Grave
et al.
2017
; present study). The species is herewith recorded from
Panama
(
Bocas del Toro
) and Cozumel Island in
Mexico
, based on recently collected material. The Cozumel specimen at cl 4.0 mm (
Fig. 6c, d
) is the largest specimen known so far; most of the other previously specimens reported have cl well under
3 mm
(
Anker 2007
,
2010a
;
Anker
et al.
2016
) or at most 3.0 mm, as for instance, the Bocas del Toro specimen (
Fig. 6a, b
). The colour pattern of
S. setosus
ranges from lemon-yellow in smaller individuals to bright orange-yellow in larger ones (
Fig. 6
).
