Remarks

epiplagic.
According to Nishida (1985, p.105) the species is one of the most morphologically-variable species in the genus (See above Table 5, p.106).
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 6 corresponding to small ambush feeding omnivorous.
