From the specimen it is known to dwell at a depth of 786 metres (2,579 ft), and to reach a total length of 53.3 centimetres (21.0 in). [2]

Etymology

The species epithet "taylori" refers to Commander A. Dundas Taylor of the Indian Navy, credited by the author as playing a notable role in the revival of the Marine Survey of India in 1874. [2] [4]
