Previous records
Valle del Cauca: Bahía Málaga (Pacific); Bolívar: Cartagena de Indias (Caribbean); Magdalena: Santa Marta (Ríos & Ramos 1990; Lazarus-Agudelo & Cantera-Kintz 2007; López-Orozco et al. 2014; Santamaria et al. 2014).
Distribution
This species was originally described from Veracruz, Mexico (but see Discussion). Molecular phylogenetic analyses, however, revealed that what has been denominated as this species corresponds to a clade composed of highly divergent lineages (probably a complex of cryptic species), distributed in southern Florida, across the Caribbean Sea, Bahamas, Bermuda, and probably in northern Brazil, and the Pacific coast from Costa Rica, Panamá, Colombia, probably to Ecuador (Santamaria et al. 2014). Although this species has been reported in the Gulf of California and California, extensive sampling for phylogeographic studies conducted by some of us suggest that these previous records are likely misidentifications (Hurtado et al. 2010; Eberl et al. 2013; Hurtado et al. 2018).
