Type locality: Pacific. See: Mortensen (1935: 215 – 219, 123, 124, pl. 21, pl. 22, figs. 1 – 2, pl. 78, figs. 22 – 23). Occurrence: Pacific and Indian Oceans (Mortensen 1935). Depth: 400 – 2,000 m (Mortensen 1935). Remarks: in his preliminary notes, Koehler (1895 a: 224; 1895 b: 228) identifies specimens taken in Azorean waters by Hirondelle and Princesse Alice as the Indo-Pacific H. luculentum. Later, Koehler changed his previous determination first in 1889 to P. uranus (Koehler, 1898) and finally in 1909 to Hygrosoma petersii (see also remarks under H. petersii).
