Depth range The type material, one single specimen, was stated as having been collected at 'greater depths' (aus grösserer Tiefe; Langerhans, 1879: 547), probably in comparison with the biggest part of the rest of the material studied by Paul Langerhans, collected mainly at the intertidal to shallow water depths. Intertidal to depths greater than 240 m (San Martín et al. 2009).  [details]
