hyperbenthique, côtier. Cette forme observée en Méditerranée (Baléares) est une illustration de l'isolement d'une population lors de l'ouverture de l'Atlantique. Elle pose aussi le problème de son maintien suite à l'assèchement plus ou moins important de la Méditerranée au Miocène, et de survie lors des périodes de glaciations
