(134) F: 2,45; (208) F: 1,64-1,54; (674) F: 1,71-1,58; (675) F: 1,92-1,6; M: 1,92-1,72; {F: 1,54-2,45; M: 1,72-1,92}

Remarks

Hardy & Gunther (1935, p.193) indicate this species, with some doubt, in Antarctic waters (South Georgia). Heron & al. (1984, p.454) describe the male for the first time and the female is redescribed to augment Sars's description.
