Two small antorbital photophores, upper well above level of upper 
pupil edge and lower well below lower pupil edge; small postorbital at 
upper hind eye edge, not evident in most my examples; 2 operculars, 
upper little larger and in line with lower eye edge and lower subpectoral; 
3 veiled branch!ostegals, equidistant or median nearer rictus; 5 pectorals, 
second interspace longest and third shortest; 1 suprapectoral, above 
pectoral fin origin and midway between same and lateral line or little 
behind lower subpectoral; 2 subpectorals, first or lower below upper or 
slightly posterior to second pectoral photophore, upper close before and 
below lowest pectoral ray bases; 4 ventrals, equidistant; 1 supraventral, 
level with upper opercular and above ventral fin origin; 5 to 7 f 5 to 7 
anals, last 3 or 4 posteroanals behind ventral fin base; 3 supraanals, 
first or lowest level with lower or front subpectoral and slightly before 
third ventral, second slightly higher or about level with upper or second 
subpectoral and opposite anal fin origin, uppermost or third on lateral 
line little before first anteroanal; 2 posterolaterals, first little 
nearer and posterior to last anteroanal, upper on lateral line; 2 pre- 
caudals, close together, posterior little higher. Male with supracaudal 
luminous plate, female with 2 to 4 smaller infracaudal luminous scales.
