Eastern Central Atlantic: numerous records within the area, all but one are from stations within the Gulf of Guinea (ca 5°N to 11°S and east of 15°W). Western Indian Ocean: numerous records from the Mozambique Channel and off Xai-Xai, Mozambique (Ref. 6601). Western Central Pacific: known only from 2 adult specimens, one collected from near New Caledonia and one from near the Marquesas (Ref. 40783). South China Sea (Ref.74511).

Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 6-9; Espinas anales 0; Radios blandos anales: 24 - 27. Dark stripe just below lateral line and extends to lower caudal lobe (Ref. 6601). Pigments lacking on pectoral and pelvic fins; gill filaments not extending to edge of gill covers (Ref. 13608).
Oceanic and mesopelagic (Ref. 6601, 75154). Adults have usually been taken in hauls at depths between 300 to 800 m; most larvae in hauls to depths between 0 to 200 m. Most records in all areas are from localities near continental or insular land masses. Synchronous hermaphrodites (Ref. 10755).
