The mean female size is 1.540 mm (n = 20; SD = 0.1159), and the mean male size is 1.442 mm (n = 18; SD = 0.1144). The size ratio (male : female) is 0.92 (n = 10; SD = 0.0702).
Rem.: epipelagic.
For Carl (1907, p.9) the females bear only 2 setae (vs 3 in Giesbrecht) on the distal part of the inner last segment of P5.
Rose (1925 a) and Uysal & al. (2002) report this species for the first time in the Mediterranean (Monaco and Levantine Basin). Lessepsian migration possible.
After Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, co-ordinates) the Itoh's index value of the mandibular gnathobase = 2550.
Timonin (1971, p.282) considers the trophic interrelations in the equatorial and tropical Indian Ocean, and divides the plankters into 6 trophic groups from the litterature and the results of studies of mouth-parts structure and intestine content. This species is a piercing and sucking carnivorous.
