Fig. 194 — Capture localities in the eastern Pacific Ocean for the Ceratoscopelus 

 townsendi-warmingii species complex. The heavy line indicates the probable western 

 limit of C townsendi. The solid circles south and west of the heavy line indicate speci- 

 mens not completely representative of either C. warmingii or C. townsendi . The number- 

 als at certain localities indicate the Pre photophore to which luminous scales extend. The 

 letter B indicates specimens found to have black pigment at tips of one or more luminous 

 scales of the body. 



Size: Commonly to 75 mm in east-central Pacific; Craddock and Mead (1970) reported a 

 93-mm specimen (as C. townsendi from off Chile at about 34° S, 85° W. 



Least depth of capture: To 100 m at night. 



Distribution: C. warmingii may be widely distributed in the Atlantic, Indian, and perhaps 

 Pacific Oceans (Fig. 194). Additional specimens, determined as C. townsendi, have been re- 

 ported by the following authors: Andriashev (1962) reported ajuvenile taken at 64° 36' S, 108° 

 52' W, and a 79.5-mm specimen at 600 m (960 km) south of Easter Island. This latter speci- 

 men, as figured by Andriashev (p. 261, fig. 28) agrees well with the figure of C. warmingii by
