( Fig. 8B View FIGURE 8 )
Diagnosis. Astronesthes gemmifer differs from congeners by the presence of four fangs and two additional teeth on the premaxilla; serial photophores closely spaced; last 5–6 VAL and VAV above anal-fin base; IV forming an arch below the pectoral-fin base; IC 62–70; OA 42–48; posterior part of elongated terminal bulb of chin barbel black ventrally (Parin, Borodulina, 2000, 2003; Sutton et al., 2020).
Geographical distribution. Atlantic, Indian, and central Pacific oceans, between 62ºN and 40ºS (Gibbs, 1990a; Parin, Borodulina, 2003; Sutton et al., 2020). In the western Atlantic, the species was reported from off Canada to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea (McAllister, 1990; McEachran, Fechhelm, 1998; Parin, Borodulina, 2000; Harold, 2003; Menezes et al., 2003). In Brazil, A. gemmifer was reported off Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago, with additional records outside the Brazilian EEZ off Rio Grande do Sul State (Parin, Borodulina, 2000; Judkins, Haedrich, 2018; Sutton et al., 2020). Astronesthes gemmifer is reported here based on one specimen collected off Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, at 430 m depth ( Fig. 7B View FIGURE 7 ).
Specimen examined. 1: NPM 4799, 1 (146 mm), AB2#41A.
