Remarks

Meso-bathypelagic.
? Cf. Scaphocalanus invalidus.
According to Park (1970, p.501), judging from the size of the body and the shape of P1, some of females reported by Tanaka (1961) as S. curtus seem belong to the present species.
Vyshkvartzeva (1993, p.13) emphasizes the P1 with an inner basal seta and outer endopodal lobe.
