Halocypria globosa Claus, 1874
Records: 257
The bathymetric distribution of this species is puzzling. Juvenile instars are occasionally caught swarming in the upper 100m. Females are found a little deeper, but males occur infrequently, always at depths centered around 700m. However, benthopelagic tows sampling the lowest 100m of the water column at depths of >2000m along continental margins sometimes collect quite large numbers of adult females. In the Southern Ocean the majority of records are to the north of the Subtropical front, but a few are from just north of the Subantarctic Front.
