distribution
Arruda (1997) considered the occurrence of this species off the Azores as doubtful. Quéro et al. (2003) indicated the presence of the species off Portugal, without referring to the geographical area of occurrence. According to Ebert & Stehmann (2013), the presence of C. brevipinna off southern Portugal is possible.
