Etymology: Eustomias: Greek, eu = good + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas batipelágico; intervalo de profundidade 0 - 1820 m (Ref. 11333). Deep-water; 35°N - 10°S
Eastern Atlantic: Morocco to Western Sahara. Western Atlantic: Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and within 10° of longitude of land from 23°N to 9°S.
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 15.6 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 11333); 18.8 cm SL (female)
Raios dorsais (total) : 23 - 25; Raios anais : 35 - 37. A single terminal bulb, three times longer than wide (Ref. 37473); 1.1-2.3% SL, with a single, digitate terminal projection 12-90% of bulb length. Bulb and projection combined 1.9-3% SL. Barbel 40-78% SL mostly more than 30%. Axis of stem moderately to darkly pigmented. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated areas unpigmented, closely spaced or contiguous distally. A few tiny spheres outside axis proximal to bulb in some specimens; otherwise no spherical or granular inclusions in stem. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin usually 8, sometimes 9 (Ref. 11333).
Mesopelagic species (Ref. 4468).
