Etymology: Lampanyctus: Greek, lampas, -ados = torch + Greek, nykte = night (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Percy J Turner of Suva, Fiji, to whom Fowler was indebted for ‘interesting’ fishes from that island country. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / Tiefenbereich / distribution range
Ökologie
seewasser bathypelagisch; ozeanodrom (Ref. 51243); tiefenbereich ? - 1757 m (Ref. 280). Deep-water
Indo-West Pacific: Agulhas Current and off the west coast in Agulhas Water pockets (South Africa); also in tropical and subtropical waters between the South China Sea and the western Indian Ocean. Reported from Japan (Ref. 559) and Taiwan (Ref. 39633).
Size / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.0 cm SL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 4066)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 12 - 14; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 16 - 19. Anal organs 13-14; the elevated, anteriorly displaced second ventral organ (anterior of the vertical from first ventral organ) and the low anal organ and gill raker counts easily separate this species from all other congeners (Ref. 39633).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
High-oceanic and mesopelagic; occurs in the upper 212 m at night.
