Typical material which has been referred to this species has 

 occurred at numerous stations throughout the region often in con- 

 siderable numbers. With four exceptions the depths range from 

 162 to 494 fathoms (297 to 903 meters). The exceptions are four 

 stations in shallower water in 34 to 88 fathoms (62 to 161 meters), 

 and one station in the Molucca Sea in 1,560 fathoms (2,853 meters). 

 Where given the bottom temperatures range from 41.1 ° to 55.8° F. (5° 

 to 13.2° C).
