In the present study, the species was found to be very common in the upper 100 m throughout the area under consideration, with its bathymetrical distribution ranging down to a depth of about 200 m. The body length of the specimens was 2.32-2.80 mm in the female and 2.36-2.65 mm in the male, according to about 200 randomly selected individuals for each sex. The prosome length was 1.60-2.00 mm in the female and 1.72-1.92 mm in the male.
