Canarias, W. Mediterranean. Ectoparasit of some Echinoderms in the low infralittoral and the circalittoral zone (the lower Pliocene fossils from southern Spain belong to a Posidonia oceanica molluscan community). Records « from deep waters might be based on down-slope transported material. » – Garilli & Messina: “The genus Chileutomia in the Pliocene to recent Mediterranean Sea”, Bollettino della società paleontologica italiana vol. 45(2-3), january 2007, p.195.
 
Original taxon: Auriculigerina miranda. The species is always « characterized by prominent, sinuous varices, partially detached from the teleoconch surface and more strongly developed in the adapical portion of each whorl. SEM observations on shells from Campore, Kyllini and Taormina show numerous, irregular, microscopic pits, the same as illustrated and described by Bouchet & Warén (1986, p. 440, fig. 1046). These pits are present, rather homogenously (depending on the shell preservation), only on the teleoconch surface, where they show size proportionally increasing to the shell growth. Protoconch surface appears smooth, except for the incremental scars. » – Op. cit. p.196.
