epi-meso-bathypelagic.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-600 m. Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-1500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S"). 530-550 m (Pipe & Coombs, 1980 at 60°N, 07°W).
After Björnberg (1963, p.53) this species is recorded for the first time off Brazil.
Confusions are possible between this species, previously described in the ancient literature and the new species described by Park (2000) from the Indo-Pacific.
After Lapernat & Razouls (2002, p.19) the Itoh's index value = 2751.6 (number of teeth: 4) on the right Md, and 3902 on the left Md (number of teeth: 3).
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a piercing and sucking carnivorous.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 1 corresponding to large sac-spawning carnivorous.
