Remarks
This species is relatively rare compared to its closest relative, Anoplodactylus monotrema Stock, 1979; similar rarity was mentioned by Arnaud (1987) for the fauna of the Mediterranean Sea. Previous records of A. robustus from the Western Atlantic were regarded as doubtful or incorrect by Stock (1979), who suggested that most of the older records of this species were mistaken with A. monotrema. Child (1979), however, considered that the Brazilian specimens identified as Halosoma robustum by Marcus (1940) should be treated as A. robustus. All our specimens come from three localities on the Caribbean coast. They match very well with Stock’s description in showing angulous proboscis corners around the mouth, five-articled ovigers and multiple cement gland pores.
Distribution
Most records are from the Western Mediterranean (Gibraltar Strait, Alboran Sea, Balearic Sea, Gulf of Lion, Tyrrhenian Sea). Additional records from Brazil, the Caribbean and Galápagos, some of which were regarded as possibly mistaken with Anoplodactylus monotrema by Stock (1979) (see remarks above).
Depth range
