o Hulley (1981): Walther Herwig data reveal that although P. tenisoni can be found as far north as 38°20'S, 54°33'W [ EEZ-AR], its northern limit in the western South Atlantic generally lies between 45°S and 46°S. The species was recorded as far south as 59°51'S … a broadly antarctic species GoogleMaps …

o Fricke et al. (2024): southern circumglobal remarks Where specimens are available, a re-determination of the below listed records will possibly result in P. luciferum .
