Parr , 1927

The scaly dragon fish (Melanostomiinae) are a subfamily of the baleen dragon fish (Stomiidae).

features

The deep sea fish are slim and without scales. You have a small head. Most species have a barb on the chin . The sexes can look different. The dorsal and anal fins are located far back, just before the caudal fin. The fish are 8 to 36 centimeters long.

Systematics

According to current phylogenetic studies, the delimitation of the scaly dragonfish from the "neighboring" subfamily Malacosteinae is not correct. Here, however, the 15 genera traditionally counted among the scaly dragonfish with almost 200 species , of which more than half belong to the genus Eustomias :

Bathophilus ater

Bathophilus nigerrimus

Bathophilus pawneei

Bathophilus vaillanti

Echiostoma barbatum

Eustomias braueri

Eustomias obscurus

Eustomias trewavasae
