nearly 1/3 of pupil; long antero—infraorbital luminous organ at front 
half of eye, narrowing posteriorly; 2 opercular photophores, upper 
larger, in line with lower eye edge and pectoral fin origin, lower 
photophore close behind hind maxillary end; 5 equidistant veiled 
branchiostegals, largely obscured by large luminous bodies; 5 pectorals

first interspace longest, fourth photophore little behind and over 
third or elevated level with upper subpectoral; 1 suprapectoral, slightly 
below middle in space between lateral line and pectoral fin origin; 2 
subpectorals, in oblique line with first pectoral, first cr lower sub¬ 
pectoral little nearer upper, which also little before suprapectoral close 
before bases of lowest pectoral fin rays; 5 ventrals, second and third 
progressively higher from first, third about level with upper subpectoral 
$hd fourth pectoral; 1 supraventral, slightly below middle in space below 
lateral line to ventral fin base; 6 f 4 anals, first anteroanal elevated 
until little below median supraanal, close before second anteroanal, 
posteroanals behind anal fin base; 3 supraanals in inclined line from close 
behind last ventral, first or lowest little nearer last ventral than median, 
uppermost close below lateral line opposite front of anal; 1 posterolateral, 
above and close behind last anteroanal; 4 precaudals, in slight arc at 
bases of lower rudimentary caudal rays with fourth little above middle below 
lateral line. Small luminous body below suprapectoral photophore.
