Antorbital luminous organ large, with small supraorbital section at 
upper front eye edge about 1/3 diameter of pupil and above nostril, lower 
section broadly triangular, with greatest extent along lower front eye 
edge; 2 opercular photophores, upper larger and in line with lower eye edge 
% 
and pectoral fin origin, lower close behind maxillary hind end and often 
veiled; 3 equidistant veiled branchiostegals, often obscured by extensive 
luminous masses; 5 pectorals, first interspace longest, nearly or quite 
equals space between second and fifth photophores, fourth above and little 
behind third or at same level as upper subpectoral; 1 suprapectoral, at 
lowest third to fifth between lateral line and pectoral fin origin, over 
pectoral fin origin and little advanced from upper subpectora}.;2 subpectorals, 
first or lower median in line with first pectoral and upper subpectoral, 
which close below pectoral fin base; 5 ventrals, second and third progressively 
elevated from first so third elevated level with fourth pectoral though 
little advanced from fourth ventral; 1 supraventral, at lowest 1/3 to 2/5 
i 
between lateral line and ventral fin base; 645 anals, anteroanals arched 
toward anal fin base so first well elevated though anterior to second, 
also hind anteroanals curve up contiguously to posterolateral, posteroanals 
usually behind anal fin base though sometimes first spot may fall over 
j S, 
base of last anal ray; 3 supraanals, in inclined linem with first or lowest 
beginning little behind fifth ventral to which nearer than to median 
supraanal which falls well below lateral line; 1 posterolateral, similar 
to uppermost 3upraanal, below lateral line though opposite adipose fin 
origin; 4 precaudals, arched along lower lobe of caudal with fourth about 
midway in space below end of lateral line as caudal retracted. Luminous 
organ below suprapectoral.
