notes:

-most collected in salinities below 5 ppt, some from freshwaters, but a few in waters up to 29 ppt (Compton & Price 1979)

-this species was also reported from Copano Bay by Holland et al. (1975) but a reexamination of the specimen showed it was too immature to determine its species (Compton & Price 1979)
