v. 1930 Peneroplis bradyi Cushman, 1930, p. 40, pl. 14, figs. 8-10. Bock, 1971, p. 33, pl. 13, fig. 8.

This species occurs in Bermuda lagoons and reefs. It also probably occurs in backreef and reefs of the Belize Shelf and in many other areas as Peneroplis spp.

Peneroplis carinatus d'Orbigny, 1839b

v. 1839 Peneroplis carinatus d'Orbigny, 1839b, p. 33, pl. 3, figs. 7, 8. Bock, 1971, p. 33, pl. 13, fig. 8.

This species was counted with P. proteus, because of the morphological similarity of the two species, especially in young stages.

P. carinatus and P. proteus occur in Bermuda lagoons. These species are also reported in outer reefs of Florida-Bahamas, in backreef and reefs of Jamaica, St. Lucia, Barbuda, Belize Shelf (as Peneroplis spp.), and Panama where it is also found in forereef, inner and outer shelves.

v. 1921 Peneroplis proteus d'Orbigny. Cushman, 1921, p. 75, pl. 18, figs. 13-19. Bock, 1971, p. 34, pl. 13, fig. 11.

The distribution of this species is similar to P. carinatus.
