Occurrence: North Atlantic deep sea, north of the Bermuda, NW of Ampere Seamount and the Newfoundland Basin (Saucède et al. 2009).
Habitat: on soft bottoms (muddy sand; Saucede et al. 2009).
Depth: 3,720–4,860 m (Saucède et al. 2009).
Remarks: on reviewing the material from H.M.S. Challenger, H.L. Clark (1925) noticed that the specimens reported by Agassiz (1881) as coming from Faial Island were mislabelled, being from Bermuda’s waters in reality.
