Notes
10 records
This is a rare and very poorly known species. Since it was described from near Bermuda (a record that was reiterated in Deevey and Brooks 1980), it has only been reported once more in posthumous paper by Deevey (1983) from 56°S in the S.W. Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. A few battered specimens from deep mesopelagic samples in the N.E.Atlantic between 10° and 30°N along the Discovery transect have very tentatively been attributed to this species.
