Distribution map of Metridia ornata by geographical zones
Loc:
Bering Sea, S Aleutian Basin, off S Aleutian Is., Kamchatka, off E Japan, Station Knot, off British Columbia, off California, Antarct. (Pacif., Atlant., E Indian), Sub-Antarct. (Drake Passage), Sargasso Sea (off E Cape Cod)
N: 10

(22) F: 8,5-8; M: 9-8; {F: 8,00-8,50; M: 8,00-9,00}
Rem.: Bathypelagic.
This species seems bipolar.
In vertical tow 4000-3000 m (Harding, 1974). Its presence in the Sargasso Sea is surprising and explains only by the profound polar currents.
For Brodsky (1967, p.304) this species differs from the closely related M. princeps in the characteristic form of the head (notched) and in the structure of P5 of both sexes. The frequent confusion between M. princeps, M. macrura, M. ornata and M. ignota masks their individual distribution.
After Markhaseva (2001, p.49) this species apparently can be considerd as bipolar : its northernmost record is at 57°N in the Bering Sea and southernmost at 70°S.
