Endnotes

  • As noted by Felder and Chaney (1979), many specimens from at least the northwestern Gulf of Mexico appear to share characters or exhibit intermediate character states of P. sayi and P. dasypodus, as presently defined; this problem remains unresolved, and the records cited here thus remain in some question.

Species Notes

None noted.
