Distribution. Pacific Ocean. In the eastern Pacific from California, USA, and the Gulf of California, Mexico, to Panama ( Brusca & Hendrickx 2005, García Madrigal 2007).

Remarks. Siegel-Causey (1992) reported H. sibaginis as an uncommon species in the southern Gulf of California, with a distribution pattern similar to H. longipes . According to García Madrigal (2007) this species occurs between 0‒ 200 m. It was one of the two most abundant species in this survey.
