Antorbltal photophores 2, at frontorbital edge, small and well 
separated; cheek with photophores nearly level with lower eye edge and 
not quite eye diameter behind eye, also another little lower and less 
distant than eye; 2 operculars, upper larger and on line passing from 
lower eye edge between subpectorals, lower close below and behind hind 
maxillary end; 3 equidistant veiled branchiostegals; 5 pectorals, first 
interspace longest, fourth spot elevated level with upper subpectoral 
and over or little posterior to third to which nearer than to fifth; 1 
suprapectoral, midway between lateral line and pectoral fin origin 
before subpectorals and little behind first pectoral; 2 subpectorals, 
one above other or lower little posterior below pectoral fin, upper close 
below pectoral fin origin; 4 ventrals, equidistant, on same level; 1 
supraventral, midway or little above middle in space between lateral 
line and ventral fin base; 6 or 7 4 ? anals, anteroanals equidistant and 
slightly arched upward, posteroanals behind anal fin base and contiguous 
with precaudals; 3 supraanala, first lowest or above second ventral 
interspace or over third ventral photophore, second slightly higher, well 
behind last ventral and high as pectoral fin origin, third rather close 
below lateral line over and slightly posterior to second supralateral or 
first anteroanel; 2 posterolaterals, lower slightly above median supraanal 
0 f 
behind last anteroanal and upper rather close below lateral line opposite 
adipose fin; 4 precaudals, arched slightly along lower lobe of caudal 
fin base and fourth close below end of lateral line above or slightly 
anterior to third. Supracaudal luminous plates 3, infracaudal 8. Some¬ 
times luminous scale at front of adipose fin.
