Comments: This species apparently occurs on rocky reef bottom or slope in the mesophotic zone. Judging from other specimens (<i>Parapercis</i> spp., <i>Plectranthias kamii, P. sheni, Helicolenus hilgendorfii</i>) collected by anglers together with this species, these were taken at depths of 200 m or below (Ref. 124021).
