Depth 4 1/8; head 3 1/4; Snout 6 1/3 in head from snout tip; 
eye 3 1/4, greater than snout; maxillary extends 1 7/8 eye diameters 
behind eye, slender, length 1 1/3 in head from snout tip, interobital 
rather low. 
Scales 36 in lateral line, cycloid. 
Moderately large antorbital luminous body, flask formed at upper 
front eye edge above nostrils, larger lower all along lower front eye edge; 
2 opercular photophores, upper larger and in inclined line from lower eye 
edge to pectoral fin origin; 3 branchiostegals; 5 pectorals, first 
interval much longest, fourth spot level with upper subpectoral close behind 
in vertical from fourth pectoral; 1 auprapectoral, about lower third between 
lateral line and pectoral fin origin, little behind upper subpectoral; 
2 subpectorals, in inclined line with first pectoral, first spot nkidway 
and upper close before bases of lowest pectorallrays; 4 ventrals, second 
elevated level with median supraanal, rather close before third ventral; 
1 3upraventral,near upper 2/5 between lateral line and ventral fin base; 
anals 6 or 7 f 5, first and last anteroanals elevated to slightly inclined 
line with second ventral, posteroanals behind anal fin base; 3 supraanals, 
in inclined line passing behind last ventral, first and second much closer 
than latter and third which little below lateral line; 1 posterolateral, 
above and little posterior to last anteroanal, little closer to lateral 
line than interval above uppermost supraanal to lateral line; precaudals 4, 
first 3 close with third little higher and fourth still posterior close 
below end of lateral line. Rather large luminous organ below suprapectoral 
photophore.
