Depth 4 l/2; head 3 2/5, Snout 7 \/z in head; eye 4 1/3, greatly 
exceeds snout; maxillary extends 1 2/3 eye diameters behind eye, narrow, 
length 1 l/3 in head; interorbital low. 
Scales 38 in lateral line, cycloid. Scales with 6 basal radiating 
striae, edge scalloped; circuli fine, complete. 
Opercular photophore slightly below level of eye or lower subpectoral; 
3 branchiostegals; 7 pectorals, little inclined upward posteriorly; 1 
suprapectoral, near upper third in space between lateral line and pec- 
toral fin origin, in inclined line with lower subpectoral and fifth 
pectoral spot; 2 subpectorals, upper about lower third between lateral 
line end pectoral fin origin, in inclined line forward including lower 
subpectoral before and just above middle of pectoral fin base and third 
pectoral spot; 5 ventrals, last little elevated; 1 supraventral, nearly 
midway between lateral lihe; 16 anals, continuous, level, 6 posteroanals 
behind anal fin base; 3 supraanals in broad triangle, first or lower 
little above and behind last ventral, second level with supraventral or 
much nearer and below upper which close below lateral line, both forming 
vertical series with anteroanal; 2 posterolaterals, 3ide by side and 
rather close below lateral line; 3 precaudals, first and second low and 
side by side, upper little posterior and close below end of lateral line. 
Row of 12 luminous bodies, each above anterior tube of lateral line; 12 
more on row of scales immediately above course of lateral line, first 
begins after last of lower series.
