After Björnberg (1963, p.53) this spcies was found in cool southern waters of high salinity for the first time off Brazilian coast.
For Hülsemann (1966, p.709) this species is the only small species with spine-like protrusions on the sides of the head which can be straight or turned backwards; they can be missing as already Giesbrecht (1892) pointed out. Females and males with only indication of a protrusion on the sides of the head were found in the western North Atlantic (Figs.91 and 123).
According to Mazzocchi & al (1995, p.43) in the specimens from Straits of Magellan (Pacific area) these protrusions are similar to those reported by Hülsemann (1966) for the tropical Atlantic, but differ from the latter forms by more slender and longer caudal rami.
For Markhaseva & Ferrari (2005, p.1098) the southernmost locality is the Strait of Magellan (Mazzocchi & al., 1995) and should not be considerd an inhabitant of antarctic waters, but indicated near the Antarctic Peninsule.
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 coarse-filter feeder herbivorous.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 4 corresponding to small filter feeding herbivorous and mixed feeding omnivorous (mostly broadcasters).
