The locality records given by C.B. Wilson (1942 a; 1950) in the Atlantic Ocean were considered to be an error, but Bundy & Paffenhöfer (1993) confirm the presence of the species off Georgia.
The penetration of this species in the eastern Mediterranean (Haïfa, Liban, Turquie: Iskenderoun Bay) is most probably a result of Lessepsian migration (through the Suez Canal) according to Berdugo (1968). Vives & Shmeleva (2007, p.491) point to the occurrence of this species from Napoli.
