Distribution

Distribution map of Scolecithricella curticauda by geographical zones
G. of Guinea, Canary Is., off E Madeira, off Bermuda: Station "S" (32°10'N, 64°30'W), Sargasso Sea, Ibero-moroccan Bay, Medit. (NW Basin), W Indian, Indonesia-Malaysia, Peru, off Juan Fernandez Is., Chile
Bathypelagic. Sargasso Sea: 1500-2000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, station "S"); Provisionally maintained in the Genus, but probable in the Genus Amallothrix. Synonymy possible with Amallophora obtusifrons (= Pseudoamallothrix obtusifrons). After Sars (1925, p.184) this form is identical with the descriptions and figures by A. Scott, although the localisations are very far one each other.
