Remarks

Offshore. Epipelagic (occasionally)- Meso-bathypelagic. Sargasso Sea: 0-1000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
After Björnberg (1963, p.48) this species is registered for the first time in Brazilian waters. heinrich (1961) found the species in large numbers in the North West Subtropical Pacific, concentrated in the 50-100 m deep layer or near the surface during the day; at night it reached 500 m depth.
For Vervoort (1965, p.102) the species shows few morphological variations. Wheeler (1970, p.12) observes two types of P5 on the females: "slender" and "thickened". Accompanying the thickened feature of the legs is the presence of a spinelike process on the genital segment of the adult; individuals with "slender P5" do not show this spine. Examination of additional individuals may provide a basis for eventually separating these two types. The first type corresponds to this species, the second to Temoropia minor. A doubt exists on the identification of T. mayumbaensis by Farran (1929) which could be Temoropia minor.
Owre & Foyo (1967, p.69) point to the species at the depths from 110 to 1000 m.
