Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 14 - 16; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 18 - 19; Vertèbres: 36 - 38. 15-16 AO photophores; 7-8 tooth patches on lower limb of second gill arch; 35-38 lateral line organs (Ref. 36121). Pectoral fins well developed with rather robust, stout rays (Ref. 36121). Nearly black to metallic blue dorsally, lighter on sides, black in mouth and gill cavity; fins dusky, marked with fine wavy lines (Ref. 6885).
