Holotype BM 1885.12.1.312, geounit Crozet Islands [details] From editor or global species database
Type locality West of Iles Crozet, -46.2667, 48.45°, 2926 m. McIntosh states the location is between Prince Edward and Kerguelen Islands, and Zhang & Hutchings (2021) repeat this, but the geolocation McIntosh gives is close to Iles Crozet. Petta assimilis was collected west of the Iles Crozet group. The species has no association with the farther east Kerguelen Islands group. [details]

Status Type and only original specimen is lost. Zhang & Hutchings (2021: 90) suggest that Petta assimilis is indeterminate until further nearby material is obtained. They suggest the distant Cape Horn records of Hartman (1967) for Petta assimilis are unlikely to be the same species. [details]
