El Mogote, Baja California, Mexico.

Gulf of California, Mexico; shallow waters.

Remarks.

Although this species occurs in an area with a long history of marine research, it is still little known, and the only study focused on this species is the original description by Carlgren (1951). The species description is based only on one individual and therefore knowledge is quite limited and morphological variation is not known to date. Thus, this species still lacks taxonomic confirmation as well as other studies.
