Holthuis (1980) remarked that it was very likely that Ewald’s specimens of <i>S. stimpsoni</i> cited for Venezuela do not belong to the true <i>S. stimpsoni</i>, but to <i>S. burkenroadi</i>, which has about the same range, but occurs less deep and predominantly on mud, mud-shell, or mud-sand bottoms. Even though <i>S. stimpsoni</i> has been reported to Venezuela since that for others authors (e.g. Rodríguez 1980; Severeyn & Rodríguez 2000), this species is not considered here because none of them reported the depth where the specimens were caught.</p>
