Japan, Oceania. The suprapectoral photophore clearly above hind 
angle of opercle, as shown in Gilbert’s figure and still evident in his 
wretched minute type specimen. Also the supraventral lies about upper 
2/5 or near upper 2/3 of space between lateral line and ventral fin base. 
Diaphus agassizi has no antorbital luminous organ other than a single 
superior minute antorbital photophore, though no infraorbital or antero- 
infraorbital.
