This appears to be a very rare species at the Bermuda-, at least m 

 shallow water. It probably inhabits the rough bottoms off the reefs. 

 The only Bermuda specimen known is a carapace, found on the 

 beach (coll. J. M. Jones, Yale Mus., No. 3126). 



Its range extends from Florida to Bahia, Brazil. Off Florida, 12 

 fath. (Stimpson). Key West (Gibbes). Barbados and Martinique 

 (M.-Edw.). Bahia (Rathbun). Porto Rico, 9^ to 16 fath. (Rathbun).
