Distribution. Tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, occasionally boreal; in the southern hemisphere to 50°S (Vinogradov et al. 1996). In the eastern Pacific it ranges from Newport to Baja California (García Madrigal 2007), in the Gulf of California (Siegel-Causey 1982; present study), and southward to Panama and Ecuador (Guillén Pozo 2007, Valencia et al. 2013).

Remarks. Recorded from a wide depth range, from the surface to 1756 m (Shih & Hendrycks 2003) and to 2860 m depth (García Madrigal 2007). Shih & Hendrycks (2003) reported this species as the predominant species of Vibilia in their eastern Pacific survey. Lavaniegos (2014, 2020) reported it as one of the most abundant off the Baja California Peninsula.
