This species is endemic to Australia where it is found around Swain Reefs, situated in the southern region of the Great Barrier Reef (Röckel et al. 1995, Singleton 2007). It lives between 170 m and 250 m, and can only be found along approx 370 km along Swain Reefs. Singleton (2007) indicates that the range of this species could be even more restricted.

This species is collected by trawl only, at consistently considerable numbers, however only dead specimens, no live specimens have been collected (H. Morrison pers. comm. 2011).
