Distribution
provided by World Register of Marine Species
Southern New Caledonia. Amalda montrouzieri is normally distributed at depths of 10–70 m, with specimens occasionally collected down to 130 m; a few empty shells were collected at even larger depths, down to 280 m (SMIB 3, stn DW20). Kilburn & Bouchet (1988) cited some extralimital records, mostly on the basis of published records, namely the Loyalty Islands, Fiji, the Ryukyu Islands, and the Philippines. These records should be confirmed with molecular data.
