Indian Ocean. Brauer figures a variation in which the median 
supraanal photophore is slightly posterior in its inclination with the 
other 2 spots. He also shows 7 anteroanals with the first 3 forming 
an inclined line to the uppermost supraanal, thus the first anteroanal 
is above the level of the median supraanal which is thus more nearly 
level with the second anteroanal.
