This is one of the most characteristic species of the upper abyssal area of the N Atlantic. It is represented by numerous samples from 2500 m—4800 m but only four more shallow and a single below 4850 m. The S distribution is uncertain because of lack of sampling stations, but it is not present in material from the Vema fracture zone, about 11° N, 5100-5900 m.
Young specimens of M. abyssorum resemble M. blakei slightly but M. blakei has more narrow axial ribs and a larger larval shell. Young specimens also resemble Kryptos koehleri of the same size but are broader and increase their diameter more rapidly .
