Distribution. Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Canary Islands, Cape Verde Islands, Azores, Antarctica, South Africa, W-Africa, Tristan da Cunha, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Comores, Madagascar, Mozambique, Philippines, Australia, Hawaii, off Oregon, California.

Depth range. 225–3914 m.

Habitat. Meso- to bathypelagic.

Iberian Seas published records. Off Portugal, 41º37'N – 12º36'W (Tattersall 1955). Off Canary Archipelago (Wittmann et al. 2004, Haroun & Garrido 2003, Wittmann & Riera 2012). South of Canary Islands (Tattersall 1955). Madeira (Wittmann & Riera 2012). Azores (Nouvel 1943, Tattersall 1955, Meland & Aas 2013).
