In Australia occurs on the east coast, in and north of Moreton Bay (see Hutchings, P.A. & Glasby, C.J. 1988. The Amphitritinae (Polychaeta: Terebellidae) from Australia. Records of the Australian Museum 40: 1–60); records of the species further south need to be checked—see questionable synonymies, also overseas records of the species (other than Philippines) need to be checked.


Note that conversion of the original AFD map of states, drainage basins and coastal and oceanic zones to IBRA and IMCRA regions may have produced errors. The new maps will be reviewed and corrected as updates occur. The maps may not indicate the entire distribution. See further details below.
