Sargasso Sea: 500-1000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, station "S"); In vertical tow 4000-3000 m (Harding, 1974).
Sampling depth (sub-Antarct.) : 0-1000 m. 582-820 m at Station T-1 (E Tori Is., E Japan).
Characteristics female according to Sewell (1947, p.95): Proportional lengths of cephalothorax and abdomen as 76 to 24. The proportional lengths of the various segments of the body (cephalon to caudal rami) as 526:108:87:57:90:46:34:18:34=1000. Head and 1 st pediger segment fused, a trace of segmentation can be seen in the mid-dorsal line, 4th and 5th thoracic segments fused. The 4th urosomal segment fringed along the posterior margin dorsally with a double row of needle-like spinules. Anal segment with a tuft of hairs on its ventral aspect. A1 23-segmented (segments 24-25 with incomplete fusion. In A2 the proportional lengths of the exopod and endopod as 42 to 23; the proximal two segments of the exopod bear setae that arise from papillae, one on the proximal segment and 3 on the 2nd segment.
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 omnivorous.
P5 male similar to that in Undeuchaeta plumosa. After Sano & al. (2013, p.21, 22) this species is considered omnivore/detritivores based on previous studies, but also marine snow relatively non-selectively. No specimens contained fragments of oncaeid copepods in their guts. The gut contents analyses indicated the ingestion of more versatile foods than the other species studied (p.18: Table 4).
