Table 1 in Lanternfish otoliths (Myctophidae, Teleostei) from the Miocene of Japan

Table 1. Distribution of myctophid species in the studied samples from the early to middle Miocene of Japan. Sequence from left to right corresponds to sequence of description of localities from southwest to northeast. Two specimens (Myctophum sp. and Diaphus sp.1) have been obtained form a location not covered in this study and will be described later by one of us (YT) and hence are not shown in this table.
