According to Jeffreys this species is much more common in the 

 north than in the south of England. He remarks also that he has not 

 been able to identify this species as Mediterranean or Adriatic, though 

 the name occurs in nearly all the accounts of the shells of those seas. 

 Locard, on the contrary, gives various localities in those seas for this 

 species, on the coasts of Spain, France, Italy, Corsica, Malta, African 

 coast, Gulf of Gabes, and also mentions Vigo, the Azores, and Cape 

 Bonne Esperance as Atlantic localities. It has also been recorded 

 from Iceland, Loffoden Isles, Northern Eussia, Maine, and Vancouver 

 Island in North America.
