Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 24 - 27; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 19 - 21.
High-oceanic, mesopelagic species (Ref. 4479, 75154). Occurs deeper than 1,000 m during the day and nyctoepipelagic at the surface and down to 175 m (Ref. 4479). Probably spawns in autumn-winter in the western North Atlantic (Ref. 4775).
