Depth range Despite Borojevic & Graat-Kleeton's name 'abyssale' it is so far not proven that the species occurs at abyssal depth, because the depth data provided by the collectors of the type material were given as '2800-4000 cable meters' which do not give a precise depth. At the geographic coordinates provided by the authors/collectors, 62°N 33°W, the depth given by Google Earth is 2904 m, well above the limit of Abyssal depth in the sense of Watling et al. 2013 (3501 m). Records provided of the species by other authors so far also were of Lower Bathyal range, not abyssal. [details]
