Distribution map of Hemirhabdus grimaldii by geographical zones
Loc:
Atlant. (S tropical), off Cape Verde Is., Canary Is., off N Azores, Bay of Biscay, off Ireland (S & W), Florida, Sargasso Sea, off Bermuda: Station ‘’ S’’ (32°10’N, 64°30’W), S Strait of Davis, off E Scotland, W Medit. (G. of Lion), Arabian Sea, S & SW Indian, Bay of Bengal, Philippines, Japan (Sagami Bay), E Tuamotu Is., Galapagos, off Peru, Pacif. (central & E, tropical & subtropical N-S), off California, Tasman Sea

Type locality : 48° N, 21° W.
N: 19
Lg.:
(1) F: 10,3; (10) F: 9; (38) F: 7,3; (44) F: 9,21; (47) F: 10,2; (70) F: 11,3; M: 12,2; (121) M: 10,05; (199) F: 9,6-8,96; M: 9,28-8,32; (238) F: 9; M: 9; (824) F: 11-8,41; M: 10,33-8,33; {F: 7,30-11,30; M: 8,32-12,20}.

Park (2000, p.55) emphasizes that the body size showed a wide range of variation, 8.41-11.00 in the female and 8.33-10.33 in the male. However, no morphological variation associated with the body sizes was detected. The largest specimens were found off California and the smallest off northwestern Africa.
Rem.: Bathypelagic. Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 500-1500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
This species resembles H. amplus.
For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value of the mandibular gnathobase = 1705.
After Park (2000, p.143), this species is relatively common, circumglobal, occurring throught the low and midlatitudes of the three major oceans, and its accounted for 89 % of the specimens found for the genus. H. amplus was relatively rare and occurred exclusively in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, mainly in the low latitudes.
