Additional information regarding this species:[2]

  • Diet: generally for group, planktonic and minute detrital food items through either suspension or deposit feeding
  • Dimensions: maximum size of 6 to 8 mm
  • Distribution: Range: 47°N to 41.7°S; 97.7°W to 37°W. Distribution: Canada; Canada: Gulf of St. Lawrence, Nova Scotia; USA: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Georgia, Florida; Florida: East Florida, West Florida; USA: Louisiana, Texas; Mexico; Mexico: Tabasco, Veracruz, Campeche State, Yucatán State, Quintana Roo; Venezuela; Venezuela: Falcon; St. Vincent & the Grenadines: Grenada; Barbados, Brazil; Brazil: Amapa, Para, Ceara, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Parana; Uruguay, Argentina; Argentina: Buenos Aires, Rio Negro
