Distribution. Western Atlantic— Brazil (Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul) ( Müller 1892; Moreira 1901; Holthuis 1952a; Melo et al. 1988; Bond-Buckup & Buckup 1989, 1999; Ramos-Porto & Coelho 1998; Pileggi & Mantelatto 2012; Carvalho et al. 2013).

Remarks. Previous records from the coast of São Paulo include Ubatuba, Caraguatatuba, Ilhabela (Ilha de São Sebastião), Bertioga, Cubatão, Praia Grande, Peruíbe, Sete Barras, Tapiraí, Eldorado, Iporanga, Pariquera-Açu, Iguape, Ilha Comprida, and Cananéia ( Holthuis 1952a; Melo et al. 1988 as M. petronioi ; Rocha & Bueno 2004; Pileggi & Mantelatto 2012; Carvalho et al. 2013; Mossolin et al. 2016). Carvalho et al. (2013) detected two distinct lineages in material previously identified as M. potiuna . Therefore, the possibility of cryptic species in the Brazilian drainages should be investigated. Sequences accession number (GenBank): CCDB 2131—16S ( HM352438 ), COI ( KM101564 ) ( Pileggi & Mantelatto 2010; Pileggi et al. 2014).
