overlap those of E. anapsis Roper, 1964 from the 

 tropical Atlantic and Caribbean. These species 

 exhibit the following differences: 1) The midline 

 space on the mantle in jonesi continues uninter- 

 rupted to the tail, but this space in anapsis has 

 some scattered photophores near the tail; 2) the 

 row that traverses the window on the ventral side 

 of the head is bifurcate in jonesi whereas it is 

 single in anapsis. The tentacles and clubs of 

 anapsis are relatively longer than those of jonesi. 

 The distal club suckers are more numerous in 

 jonesi (64-72) than in anapsis (40-50). 



This species is named after Everet C. Jones, 

 former fishery biologist at the Honolulu Lab- 

 oratory. It was under the supervision of E. C. 

 Jones that the specimens collected during some 

 of the cruises reached me in good condition. 



Distribution: Central Pacific, Hawaiian wa- 

 ters, and equatorial region.
