Figure 11. — Distribution of larvae of two species of myctophid lanternfishes. Records of occurrence of larvae of 

 Bentliosema pananiense are shown as open triangles with dot for collections of 1-100 larvae, and as closed tri- 

 angles for collections containing 101 or more larvae; records of occurrence of larvae of Myctophnm nitidulum are 

 shown as open circles with dot for collections of 1-25 larvae, and as large solid circles for collections containing 

 26 or more larvae; negative hauls are shown as small solid circles. 



larvae, and earlier were confused with larvae of 

 this genus. Most larvae included in Electrona 

 sp. in the ETP I compilation were those of this 

 species. The majority of occurrences of the 

 larvae of this species on ETP I was in the 

 southern, offshore portion of the ETP pattern, 

 not covered on ETP II. 



Ceratoscopelus townsendi-complex 

 (13 occurrences, 389 larvae) 



Abbreviated coverage of the southern portion 



of the EASTROPAC pattern, with coverage lim- 

 ited to hit 10°S or 5°S on offshore lines, cut down 

 markedly on the occurrences of larvae of Cera- 

 toscopelus, as comi^ared with ETP I: 13 occur- 

 rences as com]:)ared with 110. All occurrences 

 but one of Ceratoscopelus larvae on ETP II were 

 obtained in the outer pattern, occupied by 

 Washingtov : 2 at the two northernmost stations 

 along long 119°W, and 10 in the southern por- 

 tion of the pattern between lat 6° and 10°S along 

 long 119° and 112°W (Figure 12). Both clus-
