Northeastern Pacific: west coast of North America from southwestern Alaska to Baja California, Mexico, including the Gulf of California (Baldwin 1961, Krupp & Bussing 1995, González-Acosta et al. 1999, Didier & Rosenberger 2002, Ebert 2003, Mecklenburg et al. 2002, Didier et al. 2012), and Costa Rica (this study), at depths between 0 and about 900 m (Didier et al. 2012).
