Antorbital luminous organ along most of front eye edge, extends above 
nostril; 2 opercular photophores, small, upper on line with lower eye edge 
and upper subpectoral, lower veiled; 3 equidistant branchiostegals; 5 
pectorals, first interspace longest, fourth photophore above and posterior 
to third, nearly at seme level as upper subpectoral; 1 suprapectoral 
midway between lateral line and pectoral origin, over upper subpectoral; 
2 subpectorals, first or lower midway between first pectoral end second or 
upper subpectoral, which close before bases of lowest pectoral rays; 5 
ventrals, first to third inclined or third little above level of fourth 
pectoral, also second slightly nearer first and third but little in advance 
of fourth, interspace between fourth and fifth greatest; 1 supraventral, 
little above middle or at upper 2/5 in space between lateral line end 
ventral fin base; 5 or 6 4 or 5 anals, first anteroanal well elevated and 
little advanced from second or but little lower than level of second 
supraanal, also last anteroanal little elevated to form arch contiguous 
with mediolaterals, posteroanals all well behind anal base; 3 supraanals in 
inclined line from last ventral, first and second equidistant and uppermost 
close below lateral line opposite anal origin; 2 posterolaterals, first or 
lower well behind and nearly median in space to upper, which close below 
lateral line; 4 precaudals, lower front 2 at same level, third little higher 
and fourth little posterior and close below lateral line. Large whitish
