Remarks

meso-bathypelagic. Known to occur above 600 m depth, probably also deeper (Matthews, 1972). Overall Depth Range in Sargasso Sea: 0-2000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
Fleminger (1967 a) suggests, with doubt, that this species would be synonym to Augaptilus lamellifer.
For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value from mandibular gnathobase = 1265.
