Geological age. Holocene (Landau et al. 2006), Pleistocene (Harmer 1918; Landau et al. 2006; Landau et al. 2018), Pliocene (Landau et al. 2006; Landau et al. 2018), Miocene (Friedberg 1914; Baluk 1975; Landau et al. 2006; Landau et al. 2018).
Remarks. Rosenberg et al. (2009) recorded this species also for Cuba, Gulf of Mexico and North Carolina, and Dowgiallo (2004) recorded this species for the Bahamas; however, these identifications should be verified because they could be misidentifications of Cerithiopsis metaxae var. taeniolata Dall, 1889. Murex metaxa was considered a nomen dubium by Marshall (1977) because of the lack of type material, but Bouchet (1985) selected a neotype from Calvi, Corsica. Monterosato realized himself shortly afterwards having introduced Cerithium benoitianum Monterosato, 1869 that it was a junior synonym of Murex metaxa Delle Chiaje, 1828. Cerithium subcylindricum Brusina, 1865, Metaxia rugulosa var. exilissima Monterosato, 1884 and Cerithiopsis excavata Locard, 1897 are considered junior synonyms of Murex metaxa Delle Chiaje, 1828 (Bouchet 1985).
