A. Smith (1890b) E; Dautzenberg (1900); Vokes & Vokes (1983, original station data) W; Díaz et al. (1990) L; Leal (1991b) DlS; Fernández Milera (1998); Hewitt (2005a) Comments: Simone (2002b) regarded H. antiquatus as restricted to the Eastern Pacific. However, H. antiquatus was described without type locality, so a neotype designate may be necessary to resolve the issue. Simone's H. leptus may prove to be the correct name for at least some Western Atlantic records of H. antiquatus. Combining Genera: Amalthea Antisabia Cochlolepas
