Geographical distribution. ANTARCTICA: Ross Sea, Davis Sea, Weddell Sea. SUBANTARCTICA: -. SCOTIA ARC: South Shetland Islands, South Orkney Islands. SOUTH AMERICA: -.

Remarks. We follow the argumentation of Urcola & Zelaya (2024), who regard P. limoides as a valid species and not as a synonym of Philobrya sublaevis Pelseneer, 1903 . We found two specimens in depth of 100 m. The species is already known (as P. sublaevis) from the Maxwell and Admiralty Bays.
