This represents the first definitive record of C. dubia in the Gulf of Mexico (USNM 135780, Florida, Okaloosa County off Camp Walton, dredge, nne). Manning (1967, 1969) discussed a questionable record from a mixed lot, one specimen of which possibly could derive from the Marquesas Keys (ese). Manning (1969) and Schram and Müller (2004) cited a dry, fragmented specimen from “Mexico”, but the locality is not known, so it is not possible to ascertain whether it came from the Gulf or Caribbean. A specimen is known from the Gundlach Collection in Cuba (Manning 1969), but no locality data are available to determine whether or not the specimen was collected from Gulf waters.
