Distrihution (Fig. 63). Abundant in the waters off Japan in the North Pacific; a single capture in the mid-North Pacific represents this species. 57'S, 177° 38'E; Polyipnus ruggeri n. sp. Figure 78 Holotype DMNZ 4670; 31' 7/24/62; R/V TUI. Species distinction. Differs from the P. osteroides (p. 99) group by dentition and photophore characteristics and from P. matsuharai (p. 101) by dorsal pigment and gill raker characteristics; differs from P. meteori and P. kiwiensis by its dorsal pig- ment characteristics, higher gill raker count, and photophore patterns; further differs from P. kiwiensis by its smaller, rounder eye, longer, narrower caudal pe- duncle, and lesser distance between frontal crests (interorbital). Description. D. 12; A. 16-17; P. 15; gill, rakers 18; vertebrae (33). Largest specimen less than 60 mm SL;] body broad, tapering into somewhat long and narrow caudal peduncle; its length greater than depth; post-temporal spine short, rough surfaced dorsally, less than one-fourth of the diameter of orbit; dorsal spine short, low; preopercle spine triangu- late; eye large, round, its length about equal to width; greatest distance betweer frontal crests (interorbital) less than oi equal to length of subcaudal photophort group; abdominal keel sca
