Remarks

Mesopelagic. Known to occur at a depth less than 1500 m (Matthews, 1972).
For Park (1970, p.529) this species is related to E. longiseta Grice & Hülsemann (1965), but can be distinguished from it by the smaller body, relatively long genital segment, and relatively short A1.
Tanaka & Omori (1974, p.257) doubt imputation of their specimen to this species.
