Ventral adipose fin very weakly developed along abdominal ridge between pectoral and pelvic fins, better developed on margin between pelvic and anal fins. Anus situated above tip of appressed pelvic fin (smaller specimens with anus slightly before fin tip), distance from VFO to anus about 3.5-4.0 times in V-A.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="109">Head moderately slender, long-triangular, its length 4.0-4.1 in SL; snout slender and pointed anteriorly, its length 1.7-1.8 in HL. Mouth terminal, moderately large, its gape extending to about 1.5 times eye diameter in front of eye. Lower jaw slightly upturned at tip, with small distal tab of fleshy tissue. Eye small, its diameter 6.0-6.2 in HL. No light organ around eye. First suborbital bone slender, fifth and sixth bones expanded posteriorly, and seventh small. Interorbital space narrow, its width 11.1-11.2 in HL; some straight ridges present on top of head and snout. Two nostrils located directly above posterior end of maxilla, latter extending to point about 2/3 eye diameter in front of eye. Numerous sensory canals on snout, check, operculum, and jaws; numerous sensory pores on dorsal surface of snout and lower surface of lower jaw.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="109">Gill filaments present on all four gill arches. Fourth arch mostly connected to gill chamber wall by membranes. Pseudobranchs present, their anterior halves included in a deep pocket.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="109">DFO slightly in front of VFO, predorsal length 1.7 in SL. Pectoral-fin base behind posterior margin of gill cover, upper end of fin base slightly below horizontal drawn through lower margin of eye; no small pocket behind fin base. VFO directly under dorsal-fin base, pre-pelvic fin length 1.6 in SL. No axial scale behind pelvic-fin base (probably lost during trawling). Anal fin originating in posterior fourth of body, pre-anal length 1.3 in SL. Dorsal adipose fin over rear portion of anal-fin base, its base length about equal to eye diameter.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="109">Two or three small fangs at tip of upper jaw, followed by single row of numerous small, retrorse teeth, these gradually becoming smaller on posterior part of jaw. Vomerine teeth absent. One or two fangs (either depressible or fixed) at front end of each lower jaw, followed by two rows of fangs arranged in about 6 pairs (more teeth arranged irregularly on right jaw of larger specimen); those of inner row long with knife-like tip and depressible; those in outer row much shorter, curved, and fixed, slightly embedded in tissue. Two rows of fangs on each palatine with anteriormost teeth arranged in 4 widely spaced pairs, those in outer row long and depressible, those in outer row small and fixed; single row of small, widely spaced, fixed teeth on posterior part of palatine. One row of small, straight teeth on each side of tongue.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="0" pageNumber="109">Shield-shaped gill rakers present on epibranchial, ceratobranchial, and hypobranchial parts of each gill arch, each raker with 3-5 (rarely fewer) small teeth on broad base, these teeth barely extending upward beyond margin of gill arch. Teeth on pharyngeal arch short, arranged in oval patch with about 4 rows in middle. Single row of small teeth on fifth ceratobranchial.</paragraph>
