Cerithium (Thericium) atratum: Redfern, 2001: 20 View in CoL , pl. 11, fig. 82; Rios, 2009: 107, text fig.

Type locality: Guadeloupe (subsequent designation by Houbrick, 1974).

Distribution: Amphi-Atlantic; Eastern Atlantic: Mauritania to southern Angola; Western Atlantic: North Carolina, USA to Santa Catarina, Brazil (for details see Houbrick, 1974: 61, pl. 29; Simone, 2001).

Material examined: Brazil; off Espírito Santo: Jaseur Seamount , 20°27′S, 35°54′W, 54 m, MNHN, 1 shell + fragments ( MD55 , sta. DC34 ; 15/v/1987) GoogleMaps .

Additional (non‑MD55) material: Brazil; Espírito Santo: Aracruz, Praia do Coqueiral , MZSP 91259 View Materials , 2 View Materials shells (L. R. L. Simone col., ii/1998) ; Guarapari , MZSP 52940 View Materials , 30 View Materials spms (Montouchet col., 06/xii/1968) .

Measurements (in mm): W = 1.46; H = 3.08; w = 0.84; h = 1.26.

Remarks: Although the MD 55 specimens are juvenile and fragmentary shells, they compare well with the earliest whorls of adult specimens from Espírito Santo (MZSP 91259). Redfern (2001: pl. 11, fig. 82) illustrated a very similar individual from Caribbean (compare with Fig. 7 View Figures 1-20 ). Leal (1991) had previously reported the occurrence of this species in Jaseur Seamount,off Espírito Santo, Brazil.
