Origin of adipose fin well in front of vertical through base of last anal ray. Pectoral fin weakly developed, probably not extending beyond level of PO3; ventral fin reaching to origin of anal fin. Dn absent; Vn small. Opi minute, below level of posterior end of maxilla; Op2 slightly posterior to Opi, below level of ventral margin of orbit. 5 PO, with PO4 elevated above level of upper pectoral base and behind vertical through PO3. PVOi above PO1-PO2 interspace, closer to PO2 than to POi and at level of posterior end of maxilla; PVO2 at level of upper pectoral base. PLO about two photophore diameters below lateral line. VLO above VOi, in contact with lat- eral line. 4 VO, level, with VO2-VO3 interspace greatest.
