Range & habitat
This species was described from Puerto de Orotavo, Tenerife, Canary Islands. It has been reported from the Azores, Portugal, Spain and the Mediterranean Sea as well as the more distant localities of Panama and the Galapagos Islands. However a study of Caribbean specimens showed that there were several similar species in that area.
