Remarks.

This species was listed by Nakamura (2006) based on Schrödl (1999b), who listed this species as present in the Peruvian province, referring to Chilean waters. Fischer and Cervera (2005b) argued against its occurrence off the Chilean coast, although they acknowledge a high likelihood of its presence in Peruvian waters. Uribe et al. (2013) and Fischer (2006) referred to Zagal and Hermosilla’s (2001) presumed finding of this species in Peru.
