Distribution map of Temoropia minor by geographical zones
Loc:
Morocco, off Bermuda: Station ‘’ S’’ (32°10’N, 64°30’W), W Ireland, ? SW Pacif.
N: 5
Lg.:
(24) F: 0,8-0,72; (582) F: 0,73-0,67; M: 0,62-0,6; (583) F: 0,74-0,67; M: 0,61; {F: 0,67-0,80; M: 0,60-0,62}
Rem.: Meso-bathypelagic. Sargasso Sea: 500-2000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
According to Bradford-Grieve (1999, p.159), Deevey (1972) believed that the species that Farran (1929) took off northern New Zealand was referable to her species although the endopod filament appeared not to be very long.
