Distribution

Laevilitorina antarctica is known from scattered points around the antarctic continent from 53°E to the Ross Sea and from the Antarctic-Peninsula. Although it has been collected as deep as 351 m, these records are probably based on dead shells. Live shells probably do not live deeper than 45 m.
