Ama/openaeus va/ens Smith. 



Amalopenceus valens. Smith 1882. 

 Gennadas valens, Bouvier 1908. 



So far as the area investigated by the "Michael Sars" 

 is concerned this species shows a similar distribution to 

 that of A. elegans, though it was taken in greatest numbers 

 in the SE part of the area. It has a more pronounced 

 vertical migration than that species as shown in the table 

 below:

The blue patches characteristic of most species of 

 the genus Amalopenceus are larger and the eyes are larger 

 and darker than in A. elegans.
