Distribution. Western Atlantic—USA (North Carolina to Florida), Bermuda, Gulf of Mexico, Antilles, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil ( Amapá, Pará, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul), and Uruguay. Mediterranean Sea as introduced species ( Holthuis 1959; Powers 1977; Lemaitre 1981; Barros & Pimentel 2001; Bertini et al. 2004; Almeida et al. 2007b; Almeida & Coelho 2008; Melo 2008, 2010; Felder et al. 2009; Spivak et al. 2019).

Remarks. Previous records in São Paulo include Ubatuba (Bertini et al. 2004), Santos-São Vicente estuary and bay complex ( Pita et al. 1985; Sant’Anna et al. 2012; Zara et al. 2013). Two recent studies indicated lack of genetic structure among populations of C. danae and signs of high connectivity along the distribution ( Peres & Mantelatto 2020; Peres et al. 2020). Sequences accession number (GenBank): CCDB 1766—16S ( JX123474 ) ( Zupolini et al. 2017), CCDB 3445—COI ( MF490073 ) ( Mantelatto et al. 2018a).
