greatly exceeds snout; maxillary extends barely 1/4 eye diameter behind 
eye, apparently behind nearly vertical preopercle edge, length 1 3/5 in 
head from snout tip; interorbital low, eye impinging on upper profile. 
Scales in lateral line 31, somewhat enlarged. 
Apparently a single opercular photophore level with upper subpectoral; 
3 branchiostegals; 5 pectorals, second interspace longest, first but little 
shorter; 1 suprapectoral, over second pectoral about level with eye center 
well below lateral line; 2 subpectorals, first or anterior much below 
upper though nearly equidistant from second pectoral, also directly over 
second pectoral; 4 ventrals, equidistant; 1 supraventral, midway between 
* 
ventral base and lateral line; anal3 5 or 6 f 4 or 5, last 2 posteroanals 
behind anal fin base; 3 supraanals, lowest over interspace between third 
and fourth ventral, median little higher though not quite high as upper 
% 
subpectoral but before uppermost which close below lateral line and little 
before first anteroanal; 2 posterolaterals, first or lower directly above 
last anteroanal; 2 precaudals, first close above lower rudimentary rays 
and second close below end of lateral line. Supracaudal luminous plates 4.
