Small narrow antorbital luminous organ at front upper eye edge; 
1 minute photophore at front eye edge nearly median; 2 operculars, 
upper larger and on line with lower eye edge and lower subpectoral; 
3 veiled equidistant branchiostegals; 5 pectorals, first interspace 
longest, last photophore slightly elevated and before ventral fin 
origin; 1 suprapectoral close below lsteral line ana behind first pec¬

below and slightly advanced or before bases of lowest pectoral fin rays; 
5 ventrals, all in same level; 1 supraventral over first ventral near 
lower 2/5 in space between lateral line and first ventral spot; 9 f 7 
anals, posteroanals all behind anal fin base; 3 supraanals, first or 
lowest rather close over fifth ventral posteriorly, second still little 
posterior, or level with pectoral fin origin, uppeimost close below

2 posterolaterals on same level close below lateral line and close 
together, first or anterior slightly advanced from last anteroanal; 3
