Entorno: milieu / zona climática / rango de profundidad / gama de distribución
Ecología
marino batidemersal; rango de profundidad 329 - 576 m (Ref. 40828). Deep-water
Western Central Atlantic: Caribbean coast of Colombia and Venezuela.
Tamaño / Peso / Edad
Madurez: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 50.2 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 40789)
Vértebra: 160 - 166. Similar to Japonoconger sivicolus but with more head pores. Basic pattern of supratemporal pore seems to be a median pore flanked on each side by a pore midway to the lateral line and another pore immediately above the first lateral-line pore. Anomalies common, but no specimen less than four. Some specimens with one or two postorbital pores; Supratemporal pores show considerable variation, but no specimen has fewer than six.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
