Remarks: the species was wrongly listed for the Brazilian coast by Mianzan & Cornelius (1999), Migotto et al. (2002) and Silveira & Morandini (2011). Most of the records are south of 35°S (Larson, 1986) and around the Antarctic Convergence (Larson 1986; Mianzan & Cornelius 1999).

Distribution in South America: medusa—Pacific Ocean, off southern Chile; Atlantic Ocean, Argentina, from 35ºS to 54.8ºS (Mianzan & Cornelius 1999).

Habitat: medusa—oceanic, meso- and bathypelagic (Larson, 1986; Mianzan & Cornelius 1999).
