See: A.M. Clark & Downey (1992); Mah et al. (2012).

Occurrence: North Atlantic, from Hudson Canyon (38°25’N, 70°52’W; Mah et al. 2012) east to the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (SW Ireland; Howell et al. 2002) and southern Azorean waters (A.H. Clark 1948).

Depth: 2,976–4,877 m (Mah et al. 2012); AZO: 3,200 m (A.H. Clark 1948).
