The largest female examined with developing ovaries and uterus (representing a maturing stage), suggesting that mature females apparently attain sizes larger than 40.0 cm TL. Some specimens have whole lanternfishes (family Myctophidae) inside their stomachs, as observed under X-radiographs (Ref. 130841). Ng, S.-L., K.-M. Liu and S.-J.

May be confused with E. bigelowi, E, pusillus all three with frustum-shaped dermal denticles (Ref. 130841). Ng, S.-L., K.-M. Liu and S.-J.
