Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino batipelagico; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 1100 m (Ref. 11333). Deep-water; 25°N - 30°S
Pacific Ocean: between 10° and 25°N and between 20° and 30°S.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.6 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 11333); 14.6 cm SL (female)
A single, cone-shaped terminal bulb 0.9-1.5% SL except in the smallest specimen. Barbel relatively short 25-52% SL except in specimens smaller than 7 cm. A single, simple or bifurcate, short terminal filament 5.1-1.6% SL, decreasing relatively with growth. Proximal end of bulb almost flat, with a solid black cap. Axis of stem moderately to lightly pigmented. No spot usually at the base of both. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas unpigmented. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 8 (rarely 9) (Ref. 11333).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Mesopelagic at 50-800 m (Ref. 58302). Environment and actual depth range needs verification.
