Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 12 - 14; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 19. Anal organs 13-14; the elevated, anteriorly displaced second ventral organ (anterior of the vertical from first ventral organ) and the low anal organ and gill raker counts easily separate this species from all other congeners (Ref. 39633).
High-oceanic and mesopelagic; occurs in the upper 212 m at night.
