Minute preorbital photophore at middle of front eye edge; 1 on cheek 
in contact with upper maxillary border eye-diameter posterior to eye; 
distinct small photophore on shoulder slightly behind vertical of third 
branchiostegal; 2 operculars, upper larger and in line with lower eye edge 
and upper subpectoral, lower little below and behind hind maxillary end; 
5 pectorals, first interspace longest of spots at same level though inter¬ 
space of third and fourth subequal, fourth elevated level with upper 
subpectoral over and slightly posterior to third; 1 suprapectoral about 
upper fourth in space between lateral line and pectoral fin origin though 
little before upper subpectoral, also very small photophore (not seen in 
any other species) close above pectoral origin; 2 subpectorals, first or 
lower slightly posterior though before second pectoral, upper little before 
pectoral fin origin and about opposite middle of fin base; 4 ventrals, 
second little elevated though not quite high as first or lower subpectoral 
and remaining form equidistant at same level; 1 supraventral, close below 
lateral line and slightly behind ventral fin origin; 8 f 8 anals, second 
and third anteroanals elevated, level with first and second supraanals 
and eighth also well elevated though little nearer penultimate anteroanal 
than posterolateral, all but first posterolaterals behind anal fin base; 3 
supraanals, first and second on same level as fourth pectoral and second 
and third anteroanals, first over and little before second ventral and 
second little before fourth ventral, third close below lateral line opposite 
vent; 1 posterolateral close below lateral line and slightly before adipose 
fin origin; 4 precaudals lower 3 in arc at base of lower caudal lobe below, 
fourth more widely separated at end or base of lateral line. Numerous minute 
luminous spots or dots on sides of head and body, 1 to each scale of trunk, 
at tip of exposed portion. Supracaudal luminous scales 2, infracaudal 9, 2 or 3 
with occasional traces of 1 or 2 more before adipose fin.
