Distribution: This specimen from Pt. Conception, California.
Depth: Deep water, 137 m.
Note: Information from Bakus and Green, 1987. For a discussion concerning the species concerned here (I. Cheliferum californianum, Iophon pattersoni and Iophon lamella) see Desqueyroux-Faundez & van Soest, 1996, (Revue Suisse de Zoologie 103 (1): 13-79). Both species on this page are not Iophon cheliferum californianum but probably an undescribed species.
