Remarks. Rosenberg et al. (2009) listed this species as occurring in the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Pacific. This species in fact occurs only in the Eastern Pacific. All Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico records are misidentifications of another unidentified species (M. Fernandes pers. com. January 2020). The records from Odé (1989) and Tunnel et al. (2010) are misidentifications of Triphoris dupliniana Olsson, 1916 ( Fernandes & Pimenta 2020).
