Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-1000-2000 m.
For Heron & al. (1984, p.479), the species resembles Oncaea ornata, but may be distinguished by differences in the relative lengths of the female urosome segments, the terminal endopod segments, and the spines of P2 and P4.

According to Malt (1983b), who synonymized Oncaea ornata `form2´ sensu Boxshall, 1977 with O. englishi Heron, 1977, the species is also distributed in the NE Atlantic (Cape Verde Islands, Canary Islands, and at 40°N, 20°W), corresponding to your region 8 in the distribution map above.
