Posterior opercular margin truncate, ending in front of base of pectoral fin. Origin of dorsal fin behind base of ventral fin. Origin of anal fin under posterior one-third of base of dorsal fin. Pectoral fins very long, extending to third or fourth AOa. Ventral fin reaching origin of anal fin. Base of adipose fin over end of base of anal fin. Dn absent; Vn present. No cheek photophores. PLO in advance of pectoral fin and a little more than its own diameter below lateral line. PVO1 behind PVO2, the two organs in line with PO2; PVO2 in front of upper half of base of pectoral fin. Five PO; PO1-PO2 interspace largest; PO4 a little behind PO3, at level of upper end of base of pectoral fin and on a nearly straight line with PVO2, VLO and SAO3. VLO behind base of ventral fin and nearer to lateral line than to ventral fin base. Four VO, VO2 distinctly raised above level of rest of organs of same series which forms an arc. SAO forming an obtuse angle; SAO1 behind VO3; SAO2 and SAO3 on a nearly straight line with VO4; SAO3 over origin of anal fin and in contact with lateral line. AOa series forming a pronounced arc, with AOa1 markedly depressed. Pol in line with last AOa; Pol2 in advance of base of adipose fin and in contact with lateral line. Two AOp (anteriormost weakly developed) on left and one on right side over base of anal fin. Prc not continuous with AOp, forming an abtuse angle, with second, third and fourth organs on a straight line; Prc4 behind Prc3 and at level of lateral line. INGL consisting of 10 luminous scales and extending over entire length of caudal peduncle; SUGL much shorter, consisting of 4 luminous scales.
