Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 119 - 124; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 14 - 16. Body silvery, head dark violet (Ref. 4172).
A mesopelagic (Ref. 6808) at 300-600 m at night, 625-800 during day (Ref. 58302) and uncommon species. Swims in a vertical position, probably migrates over 200-300 m vertical distance each day-night cycle. Feeds on copepods (Ref. 6741).
