The mean female size is 5.432 mm (n = 15; SD = 0.3033), and the mean male size is 4.654 mm (n = 7; SD = 0.3133). The size ratio (male : female) is 0.861 (n = 4; SD = 0.0284), or ± 86 %.
Rem.: bathypelagic. Sargasso Sea: 500-2000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, station "S");
According to Park (1975 c, p.10) this is one of the more common euchaetid species in the bathyal zone of the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean Sea.
For Park (1995, p.92) this form is very close to the antarctica species Group, but distinct in the following respects: In Md, the small additional seta on the basis and appendicular seta on the 2nd endopodal segment are absent; in Mx1, 1st inner lobe with 2 posterior setae (instead of 3), and 2nd inner lobe with a single seta (instead of 2); genital operculum without a conspicuous central projection; the serrated lamella of the male left P5 is short and bordered with a small number of large teeth, and the hairy tubercle is rounded, without a distal spiniform process.
In the samples, Park (1995) found widely in the low and midlatitudes of all three great oceans; the northernmost locations where 53°N in the Atlantic, 35°N in the eastern and western Pacific, 31°N in the central Pacific, and 17°N in the Bay of Bengal; the southernmost locations were 32°S in the Atlantic, 40°S in the central Pacific, 49°S in the Tasman Sea, and 25°S in the western Indian Ocean.
