Extra Distribution Information
The Snares (subantarctic); because this species has been confounded with Hoho marilla (Barnard, 1972) its Australian distribution remains unclear. It may occur along the Victorian coastline, and the Great Australian Bight and SW coast area of SA and WA (Lowry, J.K. in Lowry, J.K. & Stoddart, H.E. 2003.
