Microlissa brasiliensis - Carmona-Suárez & Poupin, 2016: 360, Guadeloupe, Karubenthos 2012, 1 female MNHN-IU-2013-4764 (lot JL1072-4), st. GB21, 8 m; 1 female MNHN-IU-2013-13093, st. GD69, 60 m

Comment(s) on data
The type-locality is off Cape Frío (Brazil) and this is the first record outside Brazil. The determination follows key and characters given in Rathbun (1925: 331) but it would be interesting to check it with comparison specimens from Brazil.
