Hob. Straits of Magellan; southern Chile. This species is very closely related to H. macrops, but, as Ginsburg has pointed out, it has a somewhat more slender body, a smaller head, and the ctenoid scales on the blind side of the body appear to extend further forward. The type is 183 mm. in total length ( No. 77393), from near the Taitao Peninsula, southern Chile ('Albatross' St. 2787), and, although Ginsburg makes no mention of this fact, this is clearly the specimen examined by Thompson. No examples of this species were obtained by the Discovery Expedition, but re-examination of the 2 specimens (132, 205 mm.) from Trinidad Channel, Magellan Strait, previously identified by me as
