Cape Point to Natal, South Africa (Kensley, 1973: 170).
"A. A. mucronata similis, sed parva, angustata; spira obtusa. Had this been an Australian instead of a Chinese shell, I should have considered the absence of a pointed apex, and the greater narrowness of the figure, as mere accidental variations in the preceding species.". Recent. China Seas.
"Shell very similar to A. angustata Sowerby, but with a spire that is longer, more acuminate, and less callused. Colour of body-whorl pale, instead of liver-coloured; colour below columellar band white and sharply defined. Upper part of columella spirally grooved within aperture; lower part deeply longitudinally grooved as in angustata, but with five grooves instead of three.". Recent. Cape Point, South Africa [Erroneous according to Kilburn (1993), = 7 miles off Walker Point, South Africa].
Holotype SAMC 1811. 7 miles off Walker Point [near Knysna] in 47 fathoms [= 86 m] (illustrated by Kilburn, 1993: figs. 7-8).
