A new species of<i> Bregmaceros</i> (Gadiformes: Bregmacerotidae) from the eastern Pacific Ocean, with comments on<i> B.</i><i> atlanticus</i> and<i> B.</i><i> japonicus</i>

ZOOTAXA, 5352(2), 266–278.

author keywords: Bregmacerotidae; eastern Pacific Ocean; mesopelagic fishes; taxonomy
TL;DR: The new species bears considerable similarity in body shape and pigmentation to other overall darkly pigmented species with moderately high anal-fin counts but uniquely shares with these other species the modified prehaemal anal-fin pterygiophores and a lack of posterior bifurcation of the coelomic space otherwise present in the remaining species in the genus.
