Antarctic lanternfish references general statements on the distribution of this species:

o Hulley (1981): …the commonest circumpolar myctophid found in the upper 100 m between the Antarctic Convergence and the Antarctic Continent. …in the western South Atlantic …recorded as far north as 44°47'S 51°57'W GoogleMaps .

o Fricke et al. (2024): circumglobal

EEZ-AR references localities in EEZ-AR: o McGinnis (1974, 1982): Eltanin 125, 1503 specimens o none

While still lacking a published evidence-based record, a distribution of this status species in EEZ-AR should not be implied.
