Extralimital distribution: “ Galathea ”, Tasman Sea, sta. 626, 42 ° 10 ’S 170 ° 10 ’E, 610 m (bottom: Globigerina sp. ooze; gear: Petersen grab) (JLB 61).
Extralimital depth range: 610 m.
Type material location: NHM, London.
Remarks: This species, as well as Paraphoxus latipes need a more detailed study to confirm their assignment to Paraphoxus G. O. Sars, 1895. Both species resemble each other, but they can be separate mainly by the presence or absence of calceoli on antennae and the mandibular palp with articles 1 and 2 combined larger or slightly shorter than article 3.
Rauschert (unpubl.) recorded Paraphoxus? pyripes for the first time from the Weddell Sea.
