Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 5 - 7; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 4. Distinguishing characteristics of metamorphosed female: relatively small esca, width about equal to length; conspicuous bulbous posteriorly oriented terminal escal papilla; absence of posterior and anterior escal appendages; escal pore at posterobasal margin of terminal papilla; teeth in lower jaw 25-65, upper jaw with 27-82 teeth; vomerine teeth 4-14 (Ref. 86949).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Found near or on continental shelf, old specimens probably benthic (Ref. 6939). Bentho-, meso- and bathypelagic (Ref. 58302).
