For the vaieties P. robusta robusta = f. typica and P. robusta antarctica = f. antarctica see Mazzocchi & al. (1995, p.57). According to Mazzocchi & al. (1995, p.57) the specimens from Straits of Magellan show intermediate characters between the two forms typica and antarctica.
For Kosobokova & al. (2011, Table 3) Pleuromamma robusta is an expatriate species from Atlantic to the Arctic Ocean Basins, because the reproduction is not assumed in polar waters.

After Ehrhardt (1967, p.888, 893) the species is found in the southwest Tyrrhenian Sea in water salinity between 37.87-38.14 p.1000 .
