Remarques

méso-bathypélagique.
Park (1983 a, p.321) doute de l'identification de Grice. Cependant il n’est pas exceptionnel d'observer un tel mode de répartition correspondant à une période antérieure à la fermeture de l'isthme de Panama.
Le mâle indiqué par Chihara & Murano (1997) est sans doute une erreur.
