The first definitive record of Bathochordaeus charon since its original description was obtained in 2016 by R. E. Sherlock, K. R. Walz and B. H. Robison, using a ROV in the Monterey Bay, California, USA. A small number of Bathochordaeus have been found near Bermuda, in the Indian Ocean, or off the Nansei islands but they differ significantly from B. charon.[2] References1. ^{{cite WoRMS |author=Hopcroft, Russ |year=2008 |title=Bathochordaeus charon (Chun, 1900) |id=103394 |accessdate=2016-12-07 }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite journal|last1=Sherlock|first1=R.
