Distribution This species has a similar distribution pattern to V. jeangerardi, but is more common in the North Atlantic Ocean (up to 60 ° N), whereas V. jeangerardi is more common in the Mediterranean Sea. It has also been recorded from the southeastern Pacific Ocean, off the northwest coast of South America (Vinogradov 1990 a), and near New Zealand (Vinogradov et al. 1982). The record of Pirlot (1930) from the Sulu and Molucca Sea, near the Philippines, and the specimens examined from the USNM may represent a misidentification, as V. borealis seems to prefer colder waters, although the Galathea collected three specimens from the tropical southeastern Atlantic (4 º 00 ’ S, 8 º 25 ’ E).
