Distribution. Tropical and subtropical in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, from 40°N to 40°S. Mediterranean and Red Seas. In the eastern Pacific from Mexico to Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador (Vinogradov et al. 1996, García Madrigal 2007, Valencia & Giraldo 2012, Valencia et al. 2013, Violante-Huerta et al. 2021, this study).
Remarks. One specimen (ICML-EMU-12975-A)was attached to the siphonophore Diphyes bojani (Eschscholtz, 1825); although it looked like a natural union, this could be a consequence of the sampling method. Rhabdosoma whitei has been observed previously associated with the ctenophore Beroe sp. (Harbison et al. 1978).
Mostly from surface to 200 m depth (Vinogradov et al. 1986). An epipelagic species reported as relatively common in the entire Gulf of California (Siegel-Causey 1982). In the Mexican part of the California Current Rhabdosoma whitei has been consistently reported by Lavaniegos & Hereu (2009) and by Lavaniegos (2014, 2017), but not as a dominant species (present in 12% of the samples; Lavaniegos 2014). Our data indicate that R. whitei is a frequent species throughout the Gulf of California, also recorded off SW Mexico (Fig. 4).
