Rem.: epi & mesopelagic.
Sampling depth (sub-Antarct.) : 100 m.
Bradfod-Grieve (1994) does not follow Fukase (1957, p.20) who considers the form described by Mori (1937) as a synonym of Eucalanus subtenuis japonica.
The adult male of this species seems not to have been described (the figures 193 and 195, given by Owre & Foyo seem to be taken from Mori).
According to Fleminger (1973, p.969) two questionable records from tropical Atlantic: Florida current (Owre & Foyo, 19867) and Gulf of Mexico (Fleminger, unpublished data). The forehead is pointed but the basal segment of Md has 2 setae.
For Itoh (1970 a, fig.2, from co-ordonates) the Itoh's index value of the mandibular gnathobase = 105.
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 acoarse-filter feeder.
