Vertical distribution of Euaugaptilus bullifer in the Sulu Sea, compared with those in the Celebes Sea.
Loc:
Antarct. (S Pacif.), sub-Antarct. (SE Pacif.), South Africa (E), off NW Cape Verde Is., Canary Is., Madeira, Azores, Bay of Biscay, Barbada Is., Caribbean Sea, off Bermuda (Station "S"), Sargasso Sea, off W Ireland, W Indian., Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Indonesia-Malaysia, Celebes and Sulu Seas, Japan (Izu), off Hawaii S, ? [NE Marquesas Is., NE Tuamotu is., E Easter Is., SW Galapagos], Pacif. (W equatorial), New Zealand (NW & SW North Island), Tasman Sea
N: 22
Lg.:
(1) F: 4,9; (46) F: 4,4; (48) F: 6,08-5,16; (68) F: 5,57-5,26; M: 5,04; (69) F: 4,92 (ou 4,29!?); M: 4,70; (909) F: 5,2-5,3; {F: 4,40-6,08; M: 4,70-5,04}
Rem.: Meso-bathypelagic. Known to occur at 1000 m and deeper, occasionally as high as the uppermost 100 m after Matthews (1972, p.28). Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.): 0-2000 m. Sargasso Sea: 500-2000 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
According to Sewell (1947, p.231) Giesbrecht has noted the presence of rows of small spinules around the articulations of the marginal spines of the exopodal segments of P1. In this character bullfer differs from all other species of the genus.

In ''affinis"" Group after Matthews (1972, p.64) {See remarks in Euaugaptilus genus}
