According to Řstvedt (1955) this species have not previously been taken from this northern latitude of the Norwegian Sea.
Reported by Park, W & al. (2004) in the Gulf of Alaska (Icy Strait).
Farran's type specimen was obtained from the stomach of a mackerel, and even a very short exposure to the gastric juices would bring some changes in the appearance of the copepod. The only difference between Farran's figures and those given by A. Scott, appears to be in the setting of the cephalic spine.
