Salmacis virgulata L. Agassiz ex L. Agassiz & Desor 1846

Distribution

provided by World Register of Marine Species
Also distributed in Ceylon, Bay of Bengal, East Indies, Philippine, China and south Japan (Clark & Rowe, 1971). According to Rowe & Gates (1995), there is some confusion between the identification of Salmacis virgulata, Salmacis sphaeroides (Linnaeus, 1758) and Temnopleurus alexandri (Bell, 1884), so Salmacis virgulata has been mistakenly recorded from Australia.
