Remarks

epi-mesopelagic. Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-1000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
According to Hure & Scotto di Carlo (1967, p.292) some forms show a neoteny explaining the differences in the number of abdominal segments females (2 or 3 segments) and on A1 (5 or 6 segments).
Rose & vaissière ((1952) 1953, p.19) observe that certain females have a number of abdominal segments corresponding to the specimen of Giesbrecht (1892, Taf.50, figs.53, 54), but that others have an additional segment between the genital segment and anal segment. A1 presents 5 segments in Giesbrecht and more numerous setae while for the individuals from the Bay of Alger the number of segments is 6 and the setae less numerous.
