Operculum pointed posteriorly; posterodorsal opercular fin behind vertical through end of base of dorsal fin somewhat in advance of base of ventral fin. Origin of anal fin behind vertical through end of base of dorsal fin. Pectoral fins barely reaching basees of ventral fins. Ventral fins extending to anus. Base of adipose fin over end of base of anal fin. Dn well developed, horizontally elongate, its posteroventral margin almost fused with upward extension of Vn; Vn widest just posteroventrad to olfactory organ, tapering posteriorly to a point in front of vertical through anterior posterior end of premaxillary. Op2 somewhat higher than PVO2. PLO over base of pectoral fin and about twice its diameter below lateral line. A small patch of luminous tissue at PLO. PVO1 almost on a straight line with PO1 and PVO2 which is at lower end of base of pectoral fin and slightly in advance of PO2. Five PO; PO1-PO2 interspace largest; PO4 a little behind PO3 and slightly higher than PVO2. VLO over base of ventral fin and about 3 times tis diameter velow lateral line. Five VO; VO2 about straight line between centers of VO1 and VO3. SAO slightly angular; SAO1 on a straight line with VO5 and SAO2 which is nearer to SAO1 than to SAO3; SAO3 over origin of anal fin and in contact with lateral line. AOa1 abruptly and highly elevated, lying directly over AOa2; last AOa also elevated above and somewhat behind preceding organ of same series. Pol slightly behind last AOa, in advance of base of adipose fin and in contact with lateral line. AOp evenly spaced, in line; first AOp over end of base of anal fin. Prc forming and arc, with Prc3-Prc4 interspace markedly enlarged; Prc4 well behind Prc3 and about its diameter below lateral line.
