World Distribution
Anker (2007: 26, Zootaxa) - 0-3/4 m. Western Atlantic: Caribbean Sea: Bahamas, Cuba, W Mexico (?), Lesser Antilles, Aruba, Venezuela; Bermuda (Rankin, 1898; Verrill, 1922; Chace, 1972; Christoffersen, 1982, 1998; Rodríguez, 1986; Martínez-Iglesias et al., 1996; present study), Brazil: Atol das Rocas (present study). Christoffersen’s (1982) record of S. ortmanni from southern Brazil most likely refers to S. carvachoi, n. sp. (see below). The records of S. ortmanni from the eastern Pacific (Ríos & Carvacho, 1983; Villalobos Hiriart et al., 1989; Ríos, 1989, 1992; Wicksten, 1993; Villalobos, 2000) most probably refer to closely related, undescribed species (see below). - Also Panama (Isla Grande, Portobelo, Bocas del Toro) and Costa Rica (Cahuita) in Anker (2010: 201, Zootaxa)
