Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 17; Radios blandos anales: 19; Vértebra: 49. This species is distinguished from all its congeners by the following set of characters: postorbital organ is shifted forward to below the eye; blue luminous tissue on body arranged in two widely spaced interrupted lines between IV photophores and a streak-like patch on each side above 10th to 12th PV photophores; and a pair of stalked photophore-like structures on distal extremity of mental barbel stem (Ref. 125138).
