Type material (not examined)

Holotype

BANDA SEA • ♂; Gulf of Boni, west off Kabaena Island ; 5°26′ S, 121°18′ E; depth 1944 m; Siboga Expedition stn 210 a; NL, ZMA.PYC.1322 . GoogleMaps

Distribution and depth range

Besides the Gulf of Boni in Banda Sea (type locality), additional data on GBIF (2025) extends the distribution to the Gulf of Alaska and in the vicinities of the Commander Islands. The divergent collection localities may suggest the presence of more than one species, and this northern material should be reexamined side by side with the holotype. Minimal known depth range 1944–4200 m ( 1944 m only when excluding Alaska and Commander Islands material).
