Description

Vibilia stebbingi Behning & Woltereck, 1912

Vibilia stebbingi Behning & Woltereck, 1912: 5‒6, figs. 1‒3; Brusca, 1981: 18 (key), 39; Siegel-Causey, 1982: 116 (key), 131; Vinogradov et al., 1996: 242 (key), 248‒251, fig. 103; Shih & Hendrycks, 2003: 255 (tab. 1), 256 (tab. 2), 293 (key), 278, figs. 8, 9; Zeidler, 2003: 12 (key), 54‒57, figs. 24‒25; Brusca & Hendrickx, 2005: 149 (list); García Madrigal, 2007: 146 (list); Guillén Pozo, 2007: 20 (key), 30, fig. 6, 121 (tab. 1), 124‒179 (passim), 149 (tab. 40); Lavaniegos & Hereu, 2009:

151 (appendix); Valencia & Giraldo, 2012: 1492 (tab. 1); Valencia et al., 2013: 51 (tab. 1); Lavaniegos, 2014: 4 (tab. 1); 2020: 10‒16 (passim) 11 (tab. 2), 17 (tab. 4).

Material examined. 1M from one locality (Fig. 5). TALUD III. St. 3B (22°36’36”N, 106°35’54”W), August 17, 1991, 1M, IK from surface to 275 m (TD, ca. 650 m) (ICML-EMU-12865).

Distribution. Cosmopolitan in tropical and subtropical waters, including the Mediterranean Sea (Vinogradov et al. 1996). In the eastern Pacific it occurs between 19°N and 20°S, including off the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula and in the Gulf of California (Shih & Hendrycks 2003, García Madrigal 2007).

Remarks. According to Vinogradov et al. (1996) V. stebbingi is always caught in small numbers, as in the present survey. Siegel-Causey (1982) also reported this species as very rare in the Gulf of California, with only two records at the entrance of the Gulf. In Mexican waters, it has been more frequently recorded in the California Current. Shih & Hendrycks (2003) found this species from the surface to 200 m depth.
