Rem.: epi-mesopelagic in the polar basin.
Collected by Heron & al. (1984, p.467) in samples mainly from above 500 m.
Heron & Frost (2000, p.1017) do not agree that the generic definition of Triconia by Böttger-Schnack (1999) is sufficient to justify inclusion of all of the divergent species she assigned to the new genus.
The occurrence of this species in western Mediterranean Sea is rare and needs confirmation.
For Wi & al. (2010, p.688) the species from Korean waters shows the typical morphological characteristics of T. borealis (cf. Sars, 1918); Heron & al. (1984) including some important details lacking in Sars' description.
