North-East Atlantic from the coasts of England and Norway to Spain, as well as in the seas of the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea. It occurs at a depth of 3-40 m, mainly on sandy soil with shells, clean sand, less often on silt (Kobyakova, Dolgopolskaya, 1969). In samples collected in the Kara-Dag region in 1928-32, this species was found at depths from 11 to 40 meters, and the largest number of individuals (75%) was recorded at a depth of 15-20 m (Lyakhov, 1940). Probably, in the Black Sea, this species was a constant component of the oyster fauna, since according to the literature data, it was noted practically during any dredging of oyster men, as well as in samples from a large phyllophore field (Zernov, 1913).
