This marine shell is endemic to New Zealand and occurs off North Island, South Island and Stewart Island. A subspecies, Diloma bicanaliculata Lenoir, was once used for specimens between Cook Strait and Stewart Island.[3] The subspecies is not listed on the World Register of Marine Species, so it may no longer be valid.[2]
