Distribution This species is known mainly from the Mediterranean basin and three localities in the Bay of Bengal
(Indian coast). These latter reports need to be confirmed, as early development stages and adults of Batillipes
species are very similar and a large intraspecific variability has also been observed in this genus (see remarks
for B. gilmartini). This species is found mainly in the intertidal zone in different types of sand but has also
occasionally been collected down to ca. 60 m bsl. [details]
