Distribution. Found in shallow waters across the IWP to the Hawaiian Islands (Clark & Rowe 1971); previously recorded from Réunion (Guille & Ribes 1981; Stöhr et al. 2008), Mauritius (de Loriol 1893 a) and Rodrigues (Rowe & Richmond 2004). However old records are unreliable because of past confusion with the sibling species O. schoenleinii and O. cynthiae.
