Endnotes

  • Hernández-Aguilera et al. (1996), Alvarez et al. (1999), and McClure (2005) included A. gardineri in compilations for Mexican waters, but, as also noted by McLaughlin et al. (2005), Chace (1988) placed this species into synonymy with A. dolichognatha; records under these two names are merged for the present entry, but remain imprecisely stated for Florida and thus leave some question as to possible occurrence in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.

Species Notes

None noted.
