references general statements on the distribution of this species:

o Hulley (1981): … known from the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean, where it has been recorded between 20°N- 46°N and 25°S- 35°S, i.e. a bipolar antitropical or bipolar temperate-semisubtropical distribution pattern … Walther Herwig data confirm the antitropical distribution pattern for the species in the Atlantic … between 25°54'S and about 40°S in the western South Atlantic …

o Fricke et al. (2024): southern circumglobal, but not central Pacific, Atlantic including Mediterranean Sea
