Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) :200-1000 m.
For Tanaka (1961a, p.171) the species resembles closely S. major, differing from it in having a long outer edge spine on the 1st segment of the exopod of P2. Vervoort (1957) illustrated an abnormal P5 female with rudimentary endopod.
Park (1982, p.100) considers that the antiboreal forms of Scaphocalanus brevicornis correspond to this new species (See remaks S. brevicornis)
