This species was first described by Heron-Allen and Earland from 

 the Kerimba Archipelago. It was recorded by Cushman at a large number 

 of stations in the shallow waters of the Tropical Pacific. It is present at 

 numerous Hancock Expedition stations and is most common in water less 

 than 50 fms. in depth. It was, however, noted at one station at a depth of 

 133 fms. It has been found at the following stations: 58, 77, 215, 217, 

 225, 237, 239, 252, 253, 254, 255, 257, 260, 265, 286, 290, 294, 296,
