Antorbital luminous organs 2 in black enveloping pigment, upper on 
upper front eye edge, lower well anterior on lower front edge, sometimes 
larger; 2 opercular photophores, upper on line with lower eye edge and upper 
subpectoral, lower smaller; 3 equidistant brancbiostegals; 5 pectorals, 
first interspace greatest, fourth photophore above and little behind third 
or on level with upper subpectoral; 1 suprapectoral midway in space between 
lateral line and pectoral fin origin, in large luminous organ; 2 subpectorals, 
lower or first before suprapectoral and midway in inclined line from first 
pectoral to upper subpectoral, which close before bases of lowest pectoral 
rays; 5 ventrals, second or second and third progressively elevated from 
first, when third then level with first or lowest supraanal; 1 supraventral 
near upper third to midway between lateral line and ventral fin base; 5 to 
7 j 4 to 6 anals, first anteroanal above second and posteroanals all behind 
anal base; 3 supraanals in inclined or slightly curved row from last ventral, 
first and second closer though second level or above plane with first 
aupraanal and third on lateral line close before anal fin origin; 2 
posterolaterals, first or lower little above and close behind last anteroanal, 
upper on lateral line opposite adipose fin origin; 4 precaudals, last 
elevated closd below end of lateral line.
