Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; bathydemersal; depth range 625 - 2560 m (Ref.

). Deep-water
Indo-West Pacific: from off East Africa eastwards to Japan and New Zealand and in the Atlantic Ocean.

Anal
soft rays
: 61 - 78. This species is distinguished by the following characters: with joined vertical fins and loose, transparent, scaleless skin; body depth at origin of anal fin 13.0-16.5% SL; eyes are small or not externally visible; mouth almost horizontal; upper jaw ends well behind the eye; palatines edentate; jaws with small blunt or pointed teeth, no fangs; vomer with 3-7 fangs; anterior gill arch with 3-4 long rakers; D 92-118; A 61-78; pectoral fin 17-20 rays, with peduncle as long as or a little longer than high; pelvic fin with one ray; caudal fin rays 6-8; precaudal vertebrae 28-33, total vertebrae 77-87; vertebral centra in adults almost rectangular in lateral view; vertebrae generally poorly ossified; sagittal otolith rather large, oval and thin; penis partly covered ventrally by genital hood that ends in a medially placed clasper ventral to penis; no paired claspers in both sexes; fresh specimens with black peritoneum (Ref.
105129
).
Found on or near bottom (Ref.
6527
). The well-developed penis and reported presence of numerous spermatophores in histologically examined testes indicate internal fertilization. Eggs are found up 1 mm in diameter, but embryos were not observed (Ref.
105129
). Uncommon species (Ref.
34024
).

).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278
): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
