Depth 3 7/8; head 3 1/4, width 1 7/8, Snout 6 3/4, 9 1/5 in 
profile; eye 3, greater than snout or interorbital; maxillary reaches 
little beyond eyo though not quite to hind preopercle edge, slender, 
length from snout tip 1 l/2 in head, interorbital 5, convex. Gill rakers 
6 f 14, lanceolate, 2 in eye, subequal with gill filaments. 
Scales 37 in lateral line to caudal base and 1 more on latter, 
enlarged; 3 above, 4 below, 10 predorsal to occiput. Scales with 4 basal 
radiating striae and 6 apical less perfect; circuli fine, complete. 
Two large, fused antorbital luminous organs, supero-orbital about 1/3 
of infero-orbital, also with smaller outer section or supraorbital l/4 of 
inner section; 2 opercular photophores, upper larger and just above line 
from lower eye edge and pectoral fin origin, lower minute and veiled, close 
behind hind maxillary end; 5 pectorals, first interspace greatest, fourth 
photophore behind and elevated slightly below level of upper subpectoral; 1 
suprapectoral, about lower third between lateral line and pectoral fin origin, 
with moderate white luminous body below; 2 subpectorals, first or lower 
median in line with first pectoral and upper subpectoral, last close before 
and partly below bases of lowest pectoral fin rays; 5 ventrals, progressively 
higher from first to third, which little above level with fourth pectoral; 1 
supraventral, about midway below lateral line and ventral fin origin; 6 f 5 
anals, first slightly above level with median supraanal, second little lower 
and sixth little higher than fifth, posteroanals all behind anal fin base; 
3 supraanals, slightly inclined in row from first or lowest close behind 
fifth ventral to third or uppermost well below lateral line, median little 
nearer first than uppermost; 1 posterolateral well below lateral line, little 
posterior to sixth anteroanal; 4 precaudals, progressively arched from first 
along lower edge of caudal base up towards, though well below end of lateral 
line.
