Remarks

Sampling depth (sub-Antarct.) : 0-600 m. Sargasso Sea: 0-1000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
After Björnberg (1963, p.69) in Brazilian waters this species occurred in samples of high salinity and lower temperatures. Its vivid coloration and big eye lenses it would easily be mistaken for Macrosetella gracilis
