Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 13 - 16; Anal spines: 0; Anal soft rays: 13 - 15. Anal organs 6; photophores smaller than in other species of the genus; supraventral organ nearer to lateral line than to pelvic base; three ventral organs, 3 supra-anal organs, and 3 anterior anal organs, widely separated, 2 posterior anal organs and the last over anterior margin of infracaudal gland; three precaudal organs, the first 2 very close together, the 3rd far distant at end of lateral line; 3rd supranal organ and posterolateral organs about their respective diameters below lateral line; supracaudal gland slightly shorter than infracaudal gland (Ref. 39633).
Oceanic, found between 800-2,000 m during the day and mainly below 1,000 m at night. Small specimens in colder water to 330 m (Ref. 4479). Meso- and bathypelagic (Ref. 58302).
