The mean female size is 0.497 mm (n = 14; SD = 0.0390), and the mean male size is 0.421 mm (n = 7; SD = 0.0811). The size ratio (male : female) is 0.89 (n = 3; SD = 0.1771) or ± 89 %.
Rem.: Mesopelagic. Epipelagic in the Gulf of Naples.
The small sizes of this form (0.36 - 0.57 mm), being a generality for the species of this genus, explain the geographical discontinuities due to the mesh size of the sampling nets.
This species is close to Triconia elongata and Triconia giesbrechti with which it could have been confused, hence certain contestable locality records.
See also Triconia constricta.
After Cho & al. (2013, p.14) this species was originally described by Giesbrecht (1891) based on females collected at 03° S, 99° W.
After Benedetti & al. (2018, p.1, Fig.2) this species belonging to the functional group 5 corresponding to small sac-spawning detritivorous.
