Distribution The only absolutely certain record of the species is that of the holotype in the Brazil Basin (26°33'21"S 35°11'29"W) at 4480 m. However, the species may be widely distributed, since it presumably also occurs in the Gulf of Mexico round 3300 m depth, based on Escobar-Briones et al. (2010), who record Eurythenes specimens with extremely similar DNA sequences (Havermans et al. 2013). [details]

Etymology Sigmiferus, -a, -um, adjective created in combining Sigma, which is the eighteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, and the suffix -ferus, which means bearing. The name alludes to the dorsal sigmoid profile of most segments of the pereon and pleosome of the species. [details]
