Distribution map of Euchirella latirostris by geographical zones
Species Euchirella latirostris - Distribution map 3issued from : W. Vervoort in B.A.N.Z. Antarctic Reseach Expedition, Reports - Ser. B, Vol. III, 1957 [Fig.41]
Chart showing the geographical distribution (white triangle) in the seas surrounding the Antarctic continent.
Nota: In this chart the area frequented by whaling vessels has been hatched. The Antarctic circle (66°.5 S) has been drawn as a broken line. The numbers I to VI refer to the sectors into which the Antarctic seas are divided according to Mackintosh (1942) (after Vervoort, 1951).
Species Euchirella latirostris - Distribution map 4issued from : J.C. von Vaupel Klein in Zool. Verh. Leiden, 1998, 323. [p.392, Fig.5].
Map showing the distributional areas of E. rostrata (Claus, 1866), E. rostromagna Wolfenden, 1911, and E. latirostris Farran, 1929 , respectively; note the considerable overlap in range of E. rostrata and the other two species which, in their turn, are virtually coinciding in a strictly geographic sense. Antarctic convergence i(AC).
Species Euchirella latirostris - Distribution map 5Issued from : J.M. Bradford & J.B. Jillett in New Zealand Ocean. Inst. Memoir, 86, 1980. [p.88-89, Figs.65-67].
Distribution of several species of Euchirella in the Tasman Sea and around New Zealand.
Nota: Euchirella indica (= Euchirella massinensis indica).
Loc:
sub-Antarct. (Indian, SW Pacif.), S Atlant., Tasmania, New Zealand, Campbell Is.
N: 5
Lg.:
(35) F: 5,4; (201) F: 5,8; M: 4,2; (1257) F: 5,4-6,05; {F: 5,40-6,05; M: 4,20}
Rem.: Meso-bathypelagic.
Sampling depth (sub-Antarct.) : 0-750 m.
For Vervoort (1957, p.64) this species resembles E. rostromagna; it may be distinguished by the shape of rostrum (shorter and very thick at the base); in addition there are small differences in the shape of the teeth on the posterior surface of the basal segment of P4. A1 have densely haired setae.

For Bradford & Jillett (1980, p.39) there is some possibility that E. latirostris and E. rostromagna represent the two extremes of variation in one species. From the few records of this species it appears to live in warmer subantarctic waters.
See Vaupel Klein's remarks (1984 a, p.45-46) in E. rostromagna.
