Remarks. A very charismatic and distinctive abyssal species, which has been linked to a possible symbiotic relationship with holothurians such as Amperima rosea , Deima validum and Oneirophanta mutabilis ( Thurston et al 1987). Formerly part of the Family Leptognathiidae sensu Sieg, 1973 , and latterly in the sub-family Leptognathiinae (Anarthruridae) it was excluded after a phylogenetic analysis ( Larsen & Wilson 2002).

It is widely distributed in the world’s oceans ( Thurston et al. 1987) including the Kurile-Kamchatka Trench, 2400–4829 metres ( Kudinova-Pasternak 1970) but has not been recorded in the present study.
