Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
A species of Coelorinchus with two dermal windows of light organ, one immediately before
anus, the other in a shallow fossa on chest just behind isthmus, the two windows not connected by an externally visible black mesial line; snout moderately elongated, 1.4–1.7 times orbit diameter, tipped with a sharp terminal scute, anterolateral margins incompletely supported by bone; underside of head fully naked except for scales along anterolateral snout margin and occasional isolated cluster below junction of preopercle and infraorbital ridges (above angle of lower jaw); rays of second dorsal fin high, about equal to opposite members of anal fin; spinules on body scales small, in 10–14 parallel rows; about 8–11 saddle bands on body; branchiostegal membranes prominently black or blackish, chest and abdomen blue; gums and upper oral valve dark (Ref. 83367).
