In the western Indian Ocean small to moderate catches extend from 5°S to 35°S latitude, a single catch has been observed from the eastern Indian Ocean; numerous catches indicate this species present south of Java, near Borneo, and in the Banda Sea; known also between New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, it occurs in the westem Pacific near the Philippines and along the coast of Japan, with a small I.
