Species Haloptilus bulliceps - Distribution map 2issued from : K. Saraladevi in Proc. Sympos. warm water Zooplankton, 1977, special publ. [p.44, Fig.3].
Distribution map for H. paralongicirrus and H. bulliceps.
Loc:
Bay of Biscay, N Brazil, S Indian, W Australia, Philippines (E Mindanao), China Seas (East China Sea, South China Sea, in W. Zhang & al., 2010, pers. comm.), Pacif. (W equatorial)
N: 5
Lg.:
(38) juv.: 3,7-3,5 (adulte probablement de 5 à 6 mm); (928) Juv.F 4: 3,3-3,69
Rem.: epi-mesopelagic. Known to occur at a depth between 200 and 400 m, and above 200 m (Matthews, 1972).
Björnberg & al. (1981, p.606) do not cite this species in their inventory of the SW Atlantic species.
The female specimen from the Philippines noted by Wilson was not described and its identification seems doubtful.
