Lycenchelys m/irama Coll. is the European Lycode with which the present species might most 

 easily be confnsed. The following distinguishing characters however, are sufficient to separate them: 



L. innrccna is a more elongated species than L. sarsii\ the height over the anus i^eing only 

 4,1 — 5°/„ of the total length. 



In L. ninrcBna the dorsal fin begins further forward than in L. sars/'i\ its distance from the 

 snout being only 17,6— 18,2 'Vo of the total length. 



L. inurcEna has fewer rays in the pectorals, namel\- 13 — 15. 



Lycodoniis flagellicauda Jensen is likewise a more elongated species, the height over the anus 

 being onlv 3,4— 4,4 "/o of the total length, and is immediately distinguished from the present h\ its 

 particularly slender, whip-like tail.

The height over the anus amounts to 4,9 — 5,2 " o of the total length. The head, 

 whose length is 14,3— 14,8 °/o of the total length, is tolerably broad and flat, the

trunk is approximately cylindrical; the tail is of a low, very elongated form, not 

 much compressed, except near the end. The anterior point of the lower j aw lies a 

 good bit behind the end of the upper jaw. 7 pits for the lateral line along the 

 upper jaw and under the eye. The distance between the snout and the anus is
