Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 17 - 21; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 19 - 23; Ryggkotor: 77 - 83. Body slender. Six rows of pigmented areas dorsal to lateral photophores.

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

A mesopelagic species that lives deeper than 500 m during daylight and migrates to the upper 200 m at night. Observed by submersibles to position themselves horizontally in the water column with pelvic and pectoral fins spread wide, with barbel pointing forward. A predatory fish presumed to lie-and-wait and capable of quick bursts of speed (Ref. 86779). Feeds on midwater fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 4783). Oviparous.
