Specimens examined were collected in the Weddell Sea and in the north of the Argentinian basin, between 3076–4693 m. DNA sequences of GenBank suggests that the species is also widely distributed in the North Atlantic and the North Pacific (Havermans et al. 2013) and can descend down to 5117 m depth.
