Type locality: Malay Archipelago.
N: 50
Lg.:
(5) F: 1,8; (14) F: 1,67-1,375; (25) F: 1,69; (37) F: 1,8-1,38; (39) F: 1,46; M: 1,4; (101) F: 1,7-1,6; (113) F: 1,5; (137) M: 1,5; (187) F: 1,84-1,81; (202) F: 1,69-2,07; (866) F: 1,38-1,7; M: 1,5; (1109) F: 1,63; {F: 1,375-2,070; M: 1,400-1,500}

The mean female size is 1.653 mm (n = 17; SD = 0.1895), and the mean male size is 1.467 mm (on 3 specimens only). The size ratio (male : female) would be approximately 0.96.
Rem.: Epi and upper mesopelagic. Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-100 m. 0-217 m at Station T-1 (E Tori Is., E japan).

Vervoort (1963 b, p.122) puts doubt on the identification of this species by Tanaka (1953, 1957) and Tanaka & Omori (1970); the specimens described by Tanaka (1957, p.34) differ from previously described specimens by the development of the rostrum and the lateral thoracic spines; they may represent a new species.
Markhaseva (1996) does not accept the validity of the males, described by Wilson (1950) and Tanaka (1957 a).
Sampling depth (Antarct., sub-Antarct.) : 0-100 m.
Zakaria & al. (2016)) note for the first time this species in the East Mediterranean Sea.
