Taxon Notes:This species was originally described from the North Sea, and has been recorded worldwide. However, many of these records have since proven to be other species, and the species is reliably only known from the North Sea/North Atlantic. Records from all other areas need to be re-examined to verify the identity of the material. See White, 2011.
