Though I saw none alive, dead specimens were plentiful on the beach of the Funafuti lagoon.
Found by Garrett to accompany the foregoing through the ten archipelagoes enumerated; and seen by Rossiter from New Caledonia, Loyalty Islands, and Isle of Pines.
This species ranges along the Australian coast south to Sydney. Specimens in this Museum show it from the Solomons.
