Etymology: Lampanyctus: Greek, lampas, -ados = torch + Greek, nykte = night (Ref. 45335); wisneri: Named in honor of Robert L. Wisner, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, in recognition of his contributions to the systematics of myctophids and other oceanic fishes (Ref. 36121).

Atlantic, Indian and Pacific: nearly circumglobal in subtropical convergence waters (the gap south and east of Australia appear to be real and not an artifact of sampling effort).
