[after publications from: Brady, 1883, 1918; Thompson, 1900; Wolfenden, 1908, 1911; With , 1915; Rosendorn, 1917; Farran, 1929; Sewell, 1929, 1947; Brady & Gunther, 1935; Steuer, 1929, 1392, 1933; Ommaney, 1936; Vervoort, 1957; Tanaka, 1960; Brodsky, 1964; Seno, 1966; Andrews, 1966; Grice & Hulsemann, 1967; Seno, 1966; Frost & Fleminger, 1968; Voronina, 1970; Zverva, 1972].

C. Séret notes the occurrence at station 46°S, 64°E.
Species Aetideus armatus - Distribution map 7Issued from : M. Bode, A. Schukat, W. Hagen & H. Auel in J. Exp. Mar. Biol. Ecol., 2013, 444. [p.3, Table 1].
Dry mass, individual respiration rate and ETS activity from the northern Benguela Current upwelling system along transects at 23°S and 26°40'S, off Walvisbay and Lüderitz (Namibia).
Relationship between individual ETS activities and individual respiration rates; mean ETS activities with standard deviations are plotted again mean respiration rates (Cf. in Calanoides natalis. The letter besides each point identifies the associated species in Table 1 (b) for this species) in the same authors.
Cf. Table 1: Dry mass, individual respiration rate and ETS activity.

The mean female size is 1.811 mm (n = 42; SD = 0.1884), and the mean male size is 1.534 mm (n = 21; SD = 0.2198). The size ratio (male : female) is approximately 0.83 (n = 13; SD = 0.0707).
Rem.: epi-bathypelagic.
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-600; 100-1000 m. Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-1500 m. 603-1236 m at StationT-1 (E Tori Is. (E Japan). For Acha & al. (2020) this species is observed mainly offshore, shelf and also shelfbreak in front of Rio de La Plata (Argentina).

For Bradford (1971, p.16) the SW Africa specimens appear to be not significantly different from the material from Norway.
A doubt subsists between the Tanaka's (1957) form and Aeiideus divergens.
After Shiganova & al. (2012, p.99) this species new in the Black Sea (as other species) arise from a rise of the water surface layer temperature and/or increasing of shipping activity during the last decades.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 2 corresponding to small ambush feeding carnivorous.
