Comments: Occurs on or near the bottom at continental slope depths (Ref. 84269).  Rare species (Ref. 34024).  Reproductive strategy possibly similar to other members of this family featuring oviparity, with oval pelagic eggs floating in a gelatinous mass (Ref. 205).  A female specimen caught was with 0.5 mm eggs (Ref. 84269).
