Brady described this species from a Challenger station in 95 

 fathoms (174 meters) off the Philippines, and from Torres Strait. 

 I have had specimens very typical in character from two Albatross 

 stations, D5198, in 220 fathoms (403 meters), off western Bohol, 

 bottom temperature 53.9° F. (12.1° C.) and D5201, in 554 fathoms 

 (1,012 meters), Sogod Bay, southern Leyte, bottom temperature 

 52.8° F. (11.5° C).

 lenger, Zoology, vol. 9, 1884, p. 571, pi. 73, figs. 11-13.— Cushman, Bull. 71,

At three stations specimens of this species occurred, at the first 

 station in considerable numbers. Brady records it from off Hong- 

 kong. It is a distinctive species. The following are the stations at 

 which it has occurred: D5152, Sulu Archipelago, Tawi Tawi Group, 

 34 fathoms (62 meters); D5311, China Sea, vicinity Hongkong, 

 88 fathoms (161 meters); D5580, vicinity of Darvel Bay, Borneo, 

 162 fathoms (297 meters), bottom temperature 55.8° F. (13.2° C).
