	<dc:description>Recently reported as the smallest vertebrate. Males average 7.7 millimeters long and the gravid female which is 8.4 millimeters weighed 1 milligram.  This pedomorphic species has a life span of only 2 months, has dispensed its fishy appendages such as teeth and scales, and has no pigment except in the eyes (Ref. 52508).  Specimens were collected in oblique plankton net tows (Ref. 52019).</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Body small, stout, unpigmented.  Body depth at pectoral-fin origin 9-12% of standard length and at anal-fin origin 9-14% SL.  First dorsal-fin ray at myomere 18-20 and first anal-fin ray below dorsal-fin ray 4.  Vertebrae 20 + 15-16 = 35-36, myomeres 19-20 + 14-16 = 34-36.  Premaxillae and dentaries lack teeth.  Males have a rod-like, flexible urogenital papilla lacking lobes, projections, or accessory papillae, with distal half tapering to a blunt point and usually anteriorly directed.</dc:description>
