Ecology: Collected from bottoms with clay, stones, gravel.

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.
