Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 3; Radios blandos anales: 3. Metamorphosed females distinguished by the following characteristics: escal bulb with compressed, flange-shaped anterior appendage; stout, cylindrical distal escal appendage with terminal filament; base of distal escal appendage with pair of structures on posterior margin, each consisting of a hemispherical protuberance with digitiform anterior prolongation; posterior escal appendage compressed; barbel 118-357% SL, with several short, unpigmented distal branches bearing sessile and stalked photophores; stem of barbel pigmented with or without short simple lateral branches, each with distal photophore (Ref. 86949).
Also mesopelagic (Ref. 10762).
