Hob. North Atlantic ; Gulf of Panama. 



The structure of the bulb of the illicium of this specimen seems to be a little different 

 to that of D. allector, but in the absence of more data as to the variability of these 

 structures, and as I have been unable to detect any other differences, I have hesitated 

 to describe a new species on the basis of a single small specimen. According to a note 

 made by Mr E. R. Gunther on the fresh specimen, the bulb is silvery in colour with a 

 tinge of blue, slightly speckled with light brown. This is surmounted by a silvery organ, 

 perhaps connected with the production of light, which in turn bears a transparent 

 membranous process pigmented at its base. The Y-shaped appendage attached to and 

 almost embracing the bulb and silvery organ is reddish brown in colour, and is fringed 

 by membranous processes of varying length, the distal ends of which are devoid of 

 colour and nearly transparent,
