Distribution. — The long list of records of this species shows that 

 it is an abundant and widely distributed species in the deep water 

 off both coasts of North America and in the Japanese and neighboring 

 seas. It has been recorded from the eastern coast of America also by 

 Tattersall (1926), Leavitt (1938), and Waterman et al. (1939), and 

 from the coast of California also by Ortmann (1906). Faxon (1895) 

 records it from the Gulf of Panama.
