Remarks Te otoliths of Ceratoscopelus can be readily distinguished from all other myctophid genera by their large and protruding rostrum, the presence of a tiny or nearly absent antirostrum, and a curved posterior rim (Smale et al., 1995: pl. 17, fig. C1–2; Rivaton & Bourret, 1999: pl. 111, Fig. 1–10 View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig ). However, the otoliths of C. warmingii are hardly distinguished from those of Ceratoscopelus townsendi (Eigenmann & Eigenmann 1889) . Te latter species appear to have a more pronounced postero-dorsal angle (see Schwarzhans & Ohe, 2019 for further discussion of the otoliths of the two species).
