Distribution. Cosmopolitan ( Vinogradov et al. 1996). In the eastern Pacific from off the Columbia River, off western Baja California, and in the Gulf of California, Mexico ( Siegel-Causey 1982, García Madrigal 2007).

Remarks. Siegel-Causey (1982) reported this species as a common inhabitant in the northern, central and southern Gulf of California. From 0 to 200 m depth ( Vinogradov et al. 1996, García Madrigal 2007). Gasca et al. (2012) found it among the most abundant species in the Mexican tropical Pacific area linked to the California Current conditions.
