Marginella lavalleeanad'Orbigny, 1842b, p. 101-102, pl. 20, figs. 36-38 [Basis of the current name] Type Locality: Jamaica and Martinique Range: 32.3°N to 8°S; 91°W to 35°W Depth: 0 to 73 m (live 0 to 12 m) Maximum Reported Size: 4 mm Distribution: USA: Florida: East Florida, West Florida; Mexico: Veracruz, Campeche State, Yucatan State, Alacran Reef, Quintana Roo; Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela: Carabobo, Sucre, Islas Los Roques, Isla Orchila, Isla Margarita; Bermuda, Jamaica, Puerto Rico; Virgin Islands: St. Croix; Martinique; St. Vincent & the Grenadines: St. Vincent, Grenada; Brazil: Paraiba References: Rosewater (1975) E; Princz (1983); Cossignani (2006e) Comments: Cooley (1978) 30.3 in Florida; Rosewater's (1975) from Ascension Island needs confirmation. Originally spelled lavalleeana in the text, lavalleana on the plate and in the index. Abbott (1958), acting as first reviser, choose lavalleeana as the correct spelling. This is perhaps an unfortuate choice as other taxa that d'Orbigny named for Lavalée have the spelling lavalleana. Combining Genera: Granula Persicula
