}We report the presence of an aglomerular kidney in the pelagic deep-sea fish Saccopharynxampullaceus (Saccopharyngiformes: Saccopharyngidae). The thin kidney is unpaired and ribbon-like rostrally, while it is thicker caudally with a rod-like shape. Light microscopic observation of serial sections revealed no glomeruli at all. The kidney is composed of renal tubules, sinusoids and capillaries of the renal portal system and extensive interstitial lymphoid tissues. Each renal tubule is surrounded…

The cranial osteology and myology in the ateleopodiform Ateleopus japonicus were studied and the deep insertion of the rostral cartilage into an open space in the ethmoid region is suggested as a synapomorphy of the order and Lampridiformes.
