Remarks: Calado (1998) reported Bahia as the
southern limit for this species in the western Atlantic,
but did not mention the locality. Mucuri, the
southernmost limit of the study area (18°05’20.7”S,
39°33’14.6”W), may represent the southermost
collection locality of E. portoricencis to the present.
