I found this gregarious species in great numbers under stones between tide marks on the lagoon shore of Funafuti. Tenison Woods has described this as occurring in similar positions and abundance in tropical Queensland.*

In this Museum it is represented from Torres Straits and Port Molle, Queensland, and the Solomons.
