Material examined. Holotype NHM UK 2013.1082, Stn 167: Pacific, Southwest (Tasman Sea); 270 m.

Supplementary descriptions. Foster (1978) and Jones (1992).

Distribution. Pacific, Southwest and Central. Known depth range 202 to 600 m.

Remarks. Foster (1980) placed this species in the genus Graviscalpellum Foster, 1980 together with Trianguloscalpellum annandalei ( Calman, 1918) , Litoscalpellum giganteum ( Gruvel, 1902a) , Trianguloscalpellum gigas ( Hoek, 1883) , Alcockianum persona ( Annandale, 1916) , Arcoscalpellum portoricanum ( Pilsbry, 1907a) , Litoscalpellum regina ( Pilsbry, 1907a) , and Trianguloscalpellum rubrum ( Hoek, 1883) . These are scalpellids that are all hermaphroditic, attain a relatively large size, and possess lower latera (about 1/10 of the height of the capitulum). According to the latest revision by Young (2007), the genus Graviscalpellum is a synonym of Anguloscalpellum .
