The species is widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific region and seems to be the 

 commonest of all the species of Elamena. It was found at Ousima (Japan), at the Loo-Choo 

 Islands, New Caledonia, Rotuma (Pacific), Nicobars, Ceylon, Zanzibar, and even at the coast 

 of South Australia. It has now proved to inhabit also the East Indian Archipelago.
