REMARK

The material of Fajer-Ávila et al. (2006) from Sinaloa was recorded as Haliotrema mugilinus, because these authors were not aware that Euzet & Suriano (1977) transferred it to the genus Ligophorus. All these records are doubtful because in accordance with Sarabeev et al. (2005), the distribution of L. mugilinus is restricted to the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
