Biển Tầng nổi biển sâu; Mức độ sâu 300 - 2516 m (Ref. 4241). Deep-water; 60°N - 47°S
Antitropical. South Atlantic: between 27°S and 46°S (off southwest tip of Africa); southern Indian Ocean, western south Pacific off New Zealand, eastern south Pacific (Ref. 51657). The holotype was caught in the sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean east of the Kara Dag Seamount. Northwest Atlantic: Canada (Ref. 5951).
