Parapinnixa hendersoni Rathbun, 1918

Material examined (N=2). 1m, 24/IV/2004, St. 0 4 (MZUESC #697).

Distribution. Western Atlantic – Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Antilles, Venezuela, and Brazil (Maranhão, Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Paraná) (Melo et al. 1989; Melo 1996).

Ecological notes. On sand and broken-coral bottoms, or free-swimming. From 40 to 60 m (Melo 1996).

Previous records in Bahia. Righi (1967), Barreto et al. (1993).

Remarks. This species seems to be common in the northern hemisphere (Powers 1977; Williams 1984; Nizinski 2003). Records in Brazil are rare: Maranhão (Coelho & Ramos 1972), Bahia (Righi 1967), Espírito Santo (Barreto et al. 1993), and Paraná (Melo et al. 1989). The material from Bahia analyzed by Righi (1967) was collected at Abrolhos.
