Remarks: This is a common and widely distributed species, but mainly in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. d’Hondt (1970) suggested that some records of B. mirus, especially in the neighbourhood of Roscoff (France), should be classified as B. pennaki. In general, this is an intertidal and interstitial species reported to occur 0–80 cm deep in different types of sand substrate, but it has also been reported from the subtidal zone in the Mediterranean basin and Indian Ocean.
