Remarks. This species was originally described from between the Raoul and Macaulay Islands, to the north of New Zealand (29°45'00” S; 178°11'00” W, RV Challenger, station 170) at a depth of 630 fathoms (= 1150 m) (Schulze, 1887). In Chile this species has been recorded only in the Nazca ridge, in several seamounts by the RV Professor Shtockman (19°31’24” S to 19º34’06” S; 80°13’18” W to 80º15'24” W) at a depth of 850–900 m (Tabachnick, 1990). This species has not been registered again since then.
