Catapaguroides microps A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1892

Catapaguroides microps A. Milne-Edwards & Bouvier, 1892: 211 .

Material examined. None.

Distribution. Western Atlantic— USA (North Carolina), Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, Guyana, Brazil (Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo); Eastern Atlantic—from France (Finistère coast), Spain, Portugal to Morocco (including the Azores); Indo-West Pacific— Indonesia ( Felder et al. 2009; Lins & Cardoso 2010; Nucci & Melo 2011; Lemaitre & Tavares 2015).

Remarks. According to Lemaitre & Tavares(2015), reports of Catapaguroides microps from the western Atlantic are few and scattered. It is considered a cosmopolitan species ( Forest & de Saint Laurent 1968) but McLaughlin et al. (2010) raised doubts about the conspecificity of the Indonesian and eastern Atlantic material used by Forest & de Saint Laurent 1968 and agreed that the material should be reexamined.
