It is found around Australia and New Caledonia, living at depths of between 108 and 880 metres. It grows to a length of up to 41 centimetres. Its reproduction is ovoviviparous, which means that the embryos develop inside eggs that hatch within the mother. The short source article for this entry draws on FishBase and on the reference work Sharks of the World by Compagno, Dando and Fowler, published in 2005, and the entry states only what that article supports.
