A specimen of this species was contained in the local collection of 

 the late J. T. Bartram, of St. Georges. While Mr. Goode was in 

 Bermuda, 1877, he made a drawing of Mr. Bartram's specimen and 

 sent it to Professor S. I. Smith for identification. There is no other 

 Bermuda record. Probably the specimen referred to was obtained 

 through the deep-water fisheries or in lobster-pots. 



Its range is from Cape Hatteras to Florida and throughout the 

 West Indies, to Rio Janeiro, Brazil ; Madeira ; Cape Verde ; and 

 Canary Is.; Mediterranean and West Africa.
