Antorbital luminous organ large, includes whole front eye edge, 
upper or supraorbital quite small, high, barely 1/3 diameter of pupil; 
2 opercular photophores, upper larger and in line with lower eye edge 
and pectoral fin origin; 3 equidistant veiled branchiostegals, largely 
obscured by luminous masses; 5 pectorals, first interspace longest, 
fourth photophore over third and elevated level with pectoral fin origin; 
1 suprapectoral, about lowest 2/7 in space between lateral line and 
pectoral fin origin, over upper subpectoral; 2 subpectorals, in oblique 
line with first pectoral, first or lower subpectoral median and upper 
close before bases of lowest pectoral fin rays; 5 ventrals, second and 
third progressively higher from first so third level with fourth pectoral 
and over fourth ventral; 1 supraventral at lowest 2/5 between lateral line 
and pectoral fin base though little behind its origin; 6 or 7 4 5 or 6 anals, 
first anteroanal elevated level with third ventral, advanced little from 
second anteroanal which only slightly higher than third and fifth and sixth 
arch up continuously to posterolateral, first or first and second postero- 
i 
anals above anal fin base; 3 supraanals, in line little inclined from 
vertical from first or lowest little behind fifth ventral, second or median 
slightly higher than first anteroanal and third close below lateral line 
opposite anal origin; 1 posterolateral, rather close below lateral line 
before adipose fin; 4 precaudals, arched along base of lower caudal lobe 
progressively so fourth falls little below end of lateral line. Luminous 
organ below suprapectoral.
