Size / Weight / سن
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 11.7 cm SL جنس نر / بدون خواص جنسي; (Ref. 13608); 35.4 cm SL (female)
خارهاي باله پشتي (کل): 0; شعاع نرم باله پشتي (کل): 5-6; خارهاي باله مخرجي 0; شعاع نرم باله مخرجي: 5 - 6. Metamorphosed females distinguished by the following characteristics: length of illicium 340-447% SL; escal bulb with lightly pigmented truncated distal prolongation; 6-20 long distal filaments; escal papillae absent; proximal escal papillae absent; short dentary teeth (longest 1.3-3.4% SL, average 2.3% SL), arranged posteriorly in two longitudinal series; length of caudal fin rays less than 45% SL; weakly developed skin coverage of proximal part of caudal fin; caudal fin rays free nearly to base (Ref. 86949).
Appear to be active predators which feed on midwater fishes, including Cyclothone acclinidens, Triphoturus mexicanus and Bathylagus stilbius; cephalopods like Vampyroteuthis; and various invertebrates like amphipods, natant decapod crustaceans and coelenterates (Ref. 4525). Maximum length for female from Ref. 41361.
