Nephropsis agassizii A. Milne-Edwards, 1880

Nephropsis agassizii A. Milne-Edwards, 1880: 1 . Material examined. None.

Distribution. Western Atlantic— Bahamas, Gulf of Mexico, Antilles, Trinidad and Tobago, and Brazil (Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) ( Bouvier 1925; Holthuis 1974, 1991; Tavares 1998; Melo 1999; Tavares & Young 2002; Coelho et al. 2007; Serejo et al. 2007; Alves-Júnior et al. 2016).

Remarks. Previous records from the coast of São Paulo include the locality 25°13′S 44°33′W ( Holthuis 1974). Nephropsis agassizii and N. rosea occur offshore, mostly on mud or fine sand substrates among 580–2,900 m depth from Bahia to São Paulo ( Serejo et al. 2007) and N. rosea was found in the north coast of Brazil between 41–626 m ( Silva et al. 2013). Furthermore, due to its depths habit and relatively small size, N. agassizii is an unlikely target for fishing ( Holthuis 1991; Santana et al. 2016).
