'Fowler entered, under the species name, merely "Brasil 

 iRibeiro, 1915)," but Miranda-Ribeiro (1915). in his Fauna 

 Brasiliense, Scombresocidae, p. 21. the 16th or 22d page of the 

 book, gave as the basis for including the species in his treatise on 

 Brazilian fishes the range statement; ". . . habita o Atlantico 

 desde Cap. Cod. na America do Norte, costas da Europa e da 

 Africa e foi constatado em aguas de Montevideo pelo Dr. Carlos 

 Berg." This circumstance was probably the basis for the 1 isting of 

 the Scomberesocidae in Brazil bv Fowler 1 1942b:.384l.
