Distribution covers the marine littoral environments. from Brazil , Cuba , Gambia , Bahrain , Malaysia ( Sabah ), Singapore , and Sri Lanka ( Murphy, 1971 ). The species was described from Brazil and dedicated to Professor Paulo Sawaya (so the correct name is Pseudanurida sawayai and not P. sawayana , as originally described and cited in many articles). In the same year of Schuster’s description, Murphy (1965) characterized and illustrated a series of specimens from Gambia , including the complete dorsal chaetotaxy, which were identified as Pseudanurida cf. bogoyawlenskyi (Baker, 1905) ; however, later Murphy (1971) recognized that those specimens were actually of P. sawayai . The species was described from Brazil (Recife: Barra das Jangadas) in a creek connecting Rio Pirapama and Rio Jaboatão, a few km South of Piedade Marine Biol. Station, in mangroves; nevertheless after Murphy (1971) it also has been found in Gambia (West Africa) in mangroves and rocky shore; Sabah ( North Borneo ), Labuan on weed-covered rocks, small inlet inside Labuan town at low tide; Singapore , Pasir Ris, sparse mangroves by small stream; Bahrain , Persian Gulf, edge of inland, fresh-water stream (maybe of artesian origin); Ceylon , Mendel lake (a brackish lagoon on the West coast) and in Mannar, Giant’s tank (a large, inland, artificial fresh-water lake). It was found by Christiansen & Bellinger (1988) in mangroves of Puerto Rico , and also under and on rocks in Florida , USA . Now is has been found in sandy beach, so it seems that this species can live in different habitats.
