discussion
Remarks: This is a rare species previously known from only ten specimens, from the north-west Pacific, the tropical Indian Ocean and the south Atlantic and Indian Ocean, off South Africa, including the Antarctic Zone of the Southeast Atlantic and Eastern Indian Ocean Sectors (Zeidler & De Broyer 2009). It seems to be a deep-water species (> 500 m). Another six specimens are recorded here from the Antarctic Zone of the Southwest Atlantic and Pacific Sectors, representing new records for those regions.
