Type locality: Gulf of Mexico, 129 km S of Louisiana, from Bush Hill hydrocarbon seep; 27°46.94′N, 91°30.34′W; 534 m. GoogleMaps

Known range: limited to type locality. Material: type locality; Minerals Management Service Northern Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Slope ( MMS / NGOMCS) Regional Office Project , Johnson- Sea-Link dive 1879; 534 m; 28 September 1986; USNM 234291 About USNM (holotype, male). USNM 234292 About USNM (allotype, female), USNM 234293 About USNM (paratypes, 5 males, 2 females) ( Williams, 1988) .

Remarks: This species was reported also by Bergquist et al. (2003) from the upper continental slope off Louisiana and has been seen on the Florida Escarpment and Alaminos Canyon in the Gulf of Mexico (S. Hourdez, pers. comm.). The allotype of A. stactophila apparently is a separate, undescribed species ( T. Komai, pers. comm.).
