Vibilia hodgsoni Stewart 1913: 251‒253, pl. 6, figs. 1‒6.

Material examined. 2M and 3F from three localities (Fig. 3). TALUD V. St. 5 (22°00’57”N, 106°40’00”W), December 13, 2000, 3F, MN from surface to ca. 1400 m (TD> 1600 m) (ICML-EMU-12850). TALUD VI. St. 22 (24°17’34”N, 108°50’25”W), March 15, 2001, 1M, MN from surface to 1410 m (TD, 1760 m) (ICML-EMU- 12851); St. 29 (25°16’24”N, 109°24’54”W), March 16, 2001, 1M, MN from surface to 1440 m (TD, 2080 m) (ECO-CH-Z-10552).

Distribution. Circumtropical (Vinogradov et al. 1996). In the eastern Pacific it ranges from off the Baja California Peninsula and in the Gulf of California south to Gorgona Island, Colombia (García- Madrigal 2007, Valencia & Giraldo 2012), with one isolated record at 35°18’N (Shih & Hendrycks 2003).

Remarks. According to Vinogradov et al. (1996), V. chuni always occurs in small numbers. Present records confirm this suggestion. Shih & Hendrycks (2003) collected this species from surface to 230 m depth.
