MYCTOPHIDAE 337 



to lateral line. AO 5 + 2, all level; first posteroanal just in front of infracaudal plate, 

 second above its anterior part. 2+1 Pre, the first two above procurrent spines of 

 caudal fin, the third on lateral line at base of fin. 



Described from a single specimen, 115 mm. in length. 



Hab. Atlantic. 



As far as one can judge from this single example, and from the descriptions of Parr 

 and Taning, the Atlantic form seems to be sufficiently distinct from that of the Indo- 

 Pacific as described by Brauer, Garman, and Weber and Beaufort, to be recognised as 

 a distinct species. It differs chiefly in the somewhat slenderer body, larger head, and in 

 having 2+1 instead of 3 + i Pre photophores.
