Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal soft rays (total): 37; Vertebrae: 42. Skin pale, peritoneum blackish-brown, mouth and gill cavity pale. Coronal pore present. Mouth strongly oblique, angle 73-75°. Eyes very small, 14% HL. Branchial cavity large with ventrolateral part prominent, covering base of pectoral fin. Gill rakers unmodified. Pectoral fin insertion low, almost horizontal (Ref. 43481).
Caught between 0 and 2000 m depth over 3900 m depth. Assumed to be bathydemersal (Rainer Froese, pers. comm.).
