Distribution in Macaronesia. Madeira, Azores (Santos et al. 1997; Porteiro et al. 2010), Canary Islands (Brito et al. 2002; Brito Hernández & Sancho Rafel 2003) and Cape Verde (Reiner 1996; Wirtz et al. 2013).

Remarks. in the MMF collection there are a skin dated from 1937 (MMF 606) and a stranded specimen preserved in formalin dated from 2000 (MMF 31368). To our knowledge this was the last documented occurrence of the species in Madeira. Maul (1948) refers the species as occasional visitor.
