Light cells stippled; reflector lined, backed by a pigmented layer, black. A lens of varying structure in front of the light cells, made up of cells in a, homogeneous in b, fibrillous in c; b, with an afferent nerve, n. lac, lacunae, a after Brauer; b and c after Chun. What may be the function of this bioluminescence? The attraction of prey must be considered as the primary possibility in the benthic.
