| Locality | New Caledonia, Coral Sea, Jumeaux Seamount, MNHN-IC-2003-1495. |
| Distribution | Seamounts off the southern tip of New Caledonia and Vanuatu (23° 39' S, 168° 01' E - 24° 48.4 'S, 168° 09.0' E and 15° 04.65' S, 167° 10.98' E); 240-300 m. |
| Quote | It is conceivable that specimens reported by Parin and Kotlyar (1989: 412, fig. 3; as H. japonica) from the central Coral Sea (ZIL 47258, 2: 232-248 mm SL, 23° 04' N, 159° 37' E, 320 m; ZIL 47260, 213 mm SL, 25° 35' N, 159° 23' E, 330 m) are this species, but they are more likely to be H. pyrhistion, as are those reported by Gomon et al. (2013: 149, fig. 4) from localities in the proximity. |
