Cetomimidae (Flabby whalefishes)
Etymology: Ditropichthys: Greek, di = two + Greek, tropos = turning + Greek, ichthys = fish (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr David Humphreys Storer (1804–1891) qualified in obstetrics at Harvard Medical School (1825) and founded the Tremont Street Medical School (1837). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Sinh thái học
Biển Tầng nổi biển sâu; Mức độ sâu 650 - 3400 m (Ref. 50610), usually 1000 - 2000 m (Ref. 33390). Deep-water; 45°N - 45°S
Atlantic Ocean: between 41°N-43°S, in the eastern Atlantic it is found south of Canary Islands to east of Ascension Island; in the western Atlantic it is known from the USA to Argentina. Indian Ocean: between 8°N and 19°S. Pacific Ocean: 45°N and 34°S. Distributional gaps in the central south Atlantic, south Indian and various parts of the Pacific are presumably due to inadequate sampling. This species appears to be circumglobal in distribution.

Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.8 cm SL con đực/không giới tính; (Ref. 9791)
Juveniles (less than 3.5 cm) were captured in shallower depth range (650-877 m). Larger specimens appear to dwell deeper (Ref. 9791).
