caudal than end of snout. Photophores in ventral series consisting of 5 in front of the 

 pectoral fin, 4 very small ones close together immediately behind the pectoral, 2 close 

 together a little before pelvic and i or 2 very small ones just behind that fin, 4 close to- 

 gether above vent, and 5 behind anal. In the lateral series 0-V 10+3, forming an 

 ascending row, the last three being on the back ; V-A 1 1 , forming a curved row running 

 from level of pelvic fin upwards nearly to back and then down again to the same level. 



Described from a single specimen, 40 mm. in length; holotype of the species. 



Hab. South Atlantic.

This species seems to be most nearly related to S. longipes and B.schizochirus, Regan and 

 Trewavas; it is readily distinguished from the former by the number of pelvic rays, and from 

 the latter by the number of pectoral rays and larger postocular luminous organ , and from all 

 other species of the genus by the peculiar arrangement of the lateral photophores.
