Remarks

Meso-bathypelagic. Known to occur at depths between 440 and 1400 m (Matthews, 1972).
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-1200 m. Sargasso Sea: 1000-1500 m (Deevey & Brooks, 1977, Station "S");
In spite of the great differences in size, Grice & Hulsemann (1967) do not doubt the synonymy between this species and Augaptilus subfiligerus. Also a close examination of E. rostratus (loaned by Scripps Institution of Oceanography) on which Esterly (1906) probably based the description of that species indicates that E. rostratus (Esterly) is identical to E. oblongus (Sars, 1905)
For Matthews (1972) and Park (1993), the form reported by Tanaka & Omori (1967) as E. oblongus is no synonym of E. rectus as is maintained by Tanaka & Omori (1974, p.252).
For Park (1993, p.47) this species can be recognized by its rostrum, which consists of a pair of short spiniform processes without filaments, the absence of setae on the first 7 segments of the A2 exopod, and the gnathobase of the mandibular blade which has a large distal tooth separate from a group of proximal teeth composed of 2 long and 2 very small spiniform teeth.
Galbraith (2009, pers. comm.) relating to Augaptilus rostratus Esterly, 1906, and Brodsky, 1950 (= Euaugaptilus rostratus) is not absolutely affirmative concerning the synonymy with Euaugaptilus oblongus, because the length of outer spine of the exopodite 1 of P1 excceds the exopodite tip (contrary to E. oblongus, shorter). A variation of the lengths of the spines is possible, but the individuals in the North-eastern Pacific correspond to ("variation" ?) E. rostratus.
First occurrence in Indonesian waters by Matsuura & al. (2010).
For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value from mandibular gnathobase = 2460.
