Distributional note
Womersley (1984: 218) notes that the isolated, temperate Southern Hemisphere (South Australia) occurrence of this species is of interest in that it is on a rough-water coastline, not adjacent to a harbour and not where an introduction might be expected. Probable adventive species found on southern Australian coasts (Womersley 2003: 499). - (18 February 2009) - G.M. Guiry
