Munidopsis polita ( Smith, 1883)

Anoplonotus politus Smith, 1883: 50 , Pl. 2, Fig. 1 ; P 3. 3 , Figs. 1–5a .

Material examined. None.

Distribution. Western Atlantic— USA (Massachusetts, Virginia, Florida), Gulf of Mexico, Nicaragua, Lesser Antilles ( Guadeloupe), Colombia, Brazil (São Paulo, Santa Catarina) ( Melo-Filho 2006, 2008).

Remarks. The absence of specimens collected by us is probably due to our sampling effort in shallow waters. This species is collected between 129 and 860 m depth ( Melo-Filho 2006). We found one specimen deposited in the MZUSP collection obtained during the N.Oc. “Prof. W. Besnard” (MZUSP 13252, st. 6693, 26°41ʹS / 046°27ʹW, 430 m) in 19.i.1998, and it extends significantly the southern limits of this species towards the area of occurrence of M. polita ( Melo-Filho 2006) . Eventhough the author informed the occurrence in São Paulo, the coordinates furnished for this specimen ( Table 1 , p. 3) seem to belong to the waters of Santa Catarina state, in Brazil.
