Basal bone of illicium a little more than \ length of fish (without caudal), and little longer than the illicium itself; bulb pigmented proximally, pale yellowish white distally; at the tip of the bulb is a very small brown ring, close to which are two small and almost transparent tentacles. In front of the pair of stalked caruncles is a stout ray, which is nearly as long as the distance from the caruncles to the upper ray of caudal fin, and about 3I in length of fish. Described from a single specimen, no mm. in length; holotype of the species. Hab. South Atlantic. In 1908 Tanaka described a somewhat similar fish, 440 mm. in total length, from.
