Kali indica Lloyd, 1909: 154, PI. 44, Fig. 5 (Bay of Bengal); Johnson,
1969: 387*; Johnson & Cohen, 1974:39.
D XI-XIII + 22-24; A 1,21-25; P 12-13; vertebrae 37-41. Upper jaw with
6-12 teeth in outer row, 3-4 teeth in inner row. Lower jaw with 6-10 teeth
in outer row, 3 or 4 teeth in inner row.
Most adults have been taken in depths exceeding 1500 m.
The single gargaropteron-stage (see Johnson & Cohen,
1974) 20 mm SL, was taken (RHB 1290) in the Yucatan
Channel, in 0 - 124 m, the shallowest depth record for this
species. Tropical/subtropical in the 3 major oceans; known
from relatively few, widely-scattered localities from Gulf of
Mexico to eastern Pacific off Baja California. Not yet
taken, but assuredly occurs within our area.

(specimen found on beach at Seapark, Natal).
D XI-XIII+22-25; A 1,22-25; P 10-11; vertebrae 35-40. Upper jaw with
20-34 teeth in outer row, 6-9 teeth in inner row. Lower jaw with 18-31
teeth in outer row, 7-10 teeth in inner row.
Most adults have been taken in depths exceeding 1500 m.
Tropical/subtropical in the 3 major oceans; known from
relatively few scattered localities from Gulf of Mexico to
Ecuador. Within our area, known only from the holotype
taken off Cape Town and the single-known gargaropteronstage, the 45 mm SL holotype of Gargaropteron pterodactylops Smith, from Natal.
