The species is most common in tropical and subtropical waters, 

 but is very abundant off the southern coast of New England where 

 the influence of the Gulf Stream is marked. 



The relationship of this species to Eponides repanda should be 

 noted here. Some of the younger specimens show this resemblance 

 strongly, and it m&j finally be decided that the form figured here is 

 only a variety of E. repanda. Its relation to the following species 

 is also to be determined.
