Marcus (1955) lSE; Marcus & Marcus (1960a) N; Thompson (1980) L; Hess & Abbott (1994); Valdés et al. (2006) WM Comments: Ortea (2001a: 4) rejects non-Brazilian records of this species as not matching the original description, specifically Marcus & Marcus (1960) from Florida and Chile and Thompson (1980) from Jamaica. Hess & Abbott's record from Grand Cayman was not addressed, nor Forcelli's (2000) from Patagonia. Valdés et al. (2006) reinstate the species as ranging as far north as Florida.
