Smith (1945) stated that his specimens were pinky white with minute black eyes. The photograph of a presumably freshly dead of

could not be loaned for this study; however, a radiograph was examined. In addition, the notes and drawings of Helen K. Larson, who did examine the holotype, were made available. Based on the original description, H. K. Larsons notes and drawings, and data gleaned from the radiograph (PF=3-1221, AP=4, total dorsal-fin elements 56, total anal-fin elements 47, vertebrae 10+23), the status of this specimen is not in doubt. (The original description mistakenly lists the number of anal-fin rays as 44.)
