Remarks. Guérin-Méneville (1853) was uncertain about the type locality of A. paretii, once the ship that brought the specimen had been to Italy and Americas. Boyko (2002) stated that the correct locality is the Americas, probably Caribbean Sea or South America. Despite the wide range of occurrence, A. paretii is not abundant on São Paulo coast.
