Material examined. TALUD III, St. 3B (22°36’36”N, 106°35’54”W), August 17, 1991, 1M, IK from surface to 275 m (TD, ND) (ICML-EMU-12459A); St. 19B (25°18’24”N, 109°18’36”W), August 20, 1991, 3F, IK from surface to 600 m (TD, 1890 m) (ICML-EMU-12459B).

Eastern Pacific and worldwide distribution. It has been reported from 44 to 49°N in the Kurushio Current zone of influence; SE Gulf of California (present study; Fig. 2). Circumtropical (Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans; Mediterranean Sea) (Vinogradov et al. 1996), especially in warm waters (Zeidler & de Broyer 2009).
