Northern Honshu, Japan (Wisner 1976, Fujii in Masuda et al. 1984), and Russian north-western Pacific (Orlov and Tokranov 2019), to south-eastern Bering Sea, and Pacific Ocean south of Alaska (Shinohara et al. 1994), and west of British Columbia (Peden et al. 1985), to off Oregon (43°58’N, 176°24’W) (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington; confirmed by Katherine Maslenikov).
