Bollons' rattail (Caelorinchus bollonsi) is a fish of the genus Caelorinchus, found along the east coast of New Zealand at depths of between 300 and 800 metres. Its length is between 10 to 25 centimetres.
Bollons' rattail has the usual greatly elongated pointed tail of the rattails, as well as very large eyes and a ridged conical snout. There are long spined scales above but it is scaleless below and round the mouth. It has a chin barbel and a long first pelvic fin ray.
The colour is light brown, with 9 or 10 broad dark vertical bands on the back and flanks.
