 its depth about half its length. Dorsal base longer than anal base, anal about 1.4 in dorsal. Six 

 PO, only the last slightly elevated; 5 VO, the series curved; VO2 much elevated, the last three 

 in descending series. Photophores weakly developed and inconspicuous but not notably small, 

 often not formed on specimens less than 25 mm. A small patch of luminous tissue present on 

 most scale pockets and at many photophores. Two Pol. Pre 6 (5-7 ), last 2 widely separate from 

 rest. Secondary (procurrent) caudal rays numerous, stiff and spine-like, 10 (9-11) dorsally and
