Remarks Diaphus otoliths represent the second most abundant myctophid in the collection. While most of the otoliths belong to juvenile individuals and were not further identified, at least two taxa have been recognized: Diaphus chrysorhynchus Gilbert & Cramer, 1897 and Diaphus effulgens (Goode & Bean, 1896) (see below).
