There are any confusions between R. cornutus and R. rostrifrons by the authors.
According to Bowman (1971), this species would be restricted to the Atlantic and R. rostrifrons to the Indo-Pacific (authors, locality records and dimensions between brackets). The indication of this tropical species in the North Sea appears exceptional.
Lo & al. (2001) report this species near Taiwan, as well as Rhincalanus rostrifrons, and Mulyadi (2004) in the Indonesian Seas. W. Zhang (pers. comm., nov. 2006) confirms the presence of R. cornutus in his samples from the Chinese Seas.
This species is not mentioned in the CALCOFI region, as in the West coast of Baja California (M. Ohman, pers. comm., 2014).
For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value of the mandibular gnathobase = 240 (perhaps R. rostrifrons).
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 coarse-filter feeder.
