Muricopsis zeteki Is a widespread species occurring throughout the eastern tropical Pacific from the head of the Gulf of California to Guayaquil, Ecuador (Keen, 1971), but also Galapagos. It is known from the intertidal area to 12 m deep. Muricopsis westonensis is only collected from the type locality Cocos Isl., Costa Rica from 12 to 27 mdeep.
