ecuadorensis, Peristedion Teague [G. W.] 1961:10, Pl. 1; Fig 2b [Anales del Museo Nacional de Historia Natural de Montevideo (Serie 2) v. 7 (no. 2); ref. 9382] Off South Carolina, 32°36'00"N, 77°29'15"W, Albatross station 2624, depth 258 fathoms. Holotype: USNM 133598. Paratypes: USNM 164365 (4). The original locality of off Ecuador resulted from Teague using station data from Albatross hydrographic sta. 2624 rather than from dredging station 2624 (see G. Miller 1967:39 [ref. 7978]).
