Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 3; Rayons mous anaux: 3. Metamorphosed females distinguished by the following characteristics: escal bulb without distal prolongation; single distal filament and series of about 10 branched filaments on each side; absence of anterior escal appendage; total length of barbel 25-33% SL, distal part with series of 5 photophores, proximal photophores set on short stalks; dense concentration of subdermal melanophores on caudal peduncle (Ref. 86949).
Also mesopelagic (Ref. 10762).
