Distinguishing characteristics of metamorphosed female: pair of distal esca appendages; illicium length 19.1 to 28.2% SL; presence of 2-6 vomerine teeth in large specimens; darkly pigmented proximal one-half to two-thirds of escal bulb, oval shaped distal portion, proximal portion tapering into stem of illicium; 2 slender escal appendages arising anterior to escal pore, each appendage nearly always bifurcate, trifurcate or multibranched; escal pore at apex of bulb, raised on pigmented papilla in specimens 75 mm and larger (Ref. 86949).
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
Majority of collected materials taken by trawls that reaches maximum depth of greater than 650m (Ref. 86949).
