0. pumila is known along the North American coast from Florida down to 

 Colon, in the West Indies, and in Brazil. Greeff found it abundantly in San-Thome 1 

 Island (Guinea). It is almost always found near the coast, though Verrill records 

 it off Havana at a depth of 200 fathoms. Ophiocoma scolopendrina and Ophiura 

 Jiexactis noticed by Duchassaing in the West Indies are 0. pumila.
