Stewart in 2006.[2] It is a subtropical, marine eel which is known from Macauley Island on the Kermadec Ridge in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.

The species epithet is derived from the Latin word for "supreme/uppermost", acknowledging Anarchias supremuss possession of the most vertebrae of any known species in the genus.[1]
