Myomeres: total ca. 99-117 (15 specimens), preanai 45-65 (20). Size. Ca. 10-39 mm SL, all premetamorphic. Variation. All but two of the Atlantic specimens came from the Sargasso Sea, the others from off the west coast of Africa (Fig. 2). The latter had approximately 99-105 total myomeres com- pared to ca. 108-117 for the western Atlantic specimens. There seem to be no other differences between the eastern Atlantic and western Atl

Tabeta (1988:29) gave a range of 97- 100 total, 51-62 preanai, and 46-49 LVBV myomeres for his seven western Pacific specimens, 16-31 mm in length. The single central Pacific specimen examined, USNM 324871, had signifi-.
