Comments: This species was observed and collected in association with the Sakura shrimp, <i>Lucensosergia lucens</i> (Hansen, 1922) in Taiwan during fishing season (December-May) in mid-water trawls,  together with <i>Parascombrops yamanouei</i> and other pelagic fishes like bregmacerotids and surface-migrating myctophids.  In the Arafura Sea, it was collected in association with demersal fishes like  <i>Acropoma japonicum</i> Günther, 1859, <i>Malakichthys levis</i> Yamanoue & Matsuura, 2001, <i>Owstonia aff. Pectinifer</i> (Myers, 1939) and <i>Bembrops</i> spp. at depth close to sea bottom but not far from a major drop-off. (Ref. 116586).
