Biology:Dasyscopelus
From HandWiki
Dasyscopelus is a genus of lanternfish, family Myctophidae.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy
Dasyscopelus was originally described as a subgenus of Scopelus (now Myctophum) by Albert Günther in 1864. Later on, starting from Bolin (1959), it was treated as a synonym of Myctophum. Dasyscopelus was resurrected and treated as full genus based on molecular data by Martin and colleagues in 2018.[1][3] There are no definite morphological characters distinguishing these genera.[3]
Species
There are currently seven recognized species in this genus:[4]
- Dasyscopelus asper (Richardson, 1845) (prickly lanternfish)
- Dasyscopelus brachygnathos (Bleeker, 1856) (short-jawed lanternfish)
- Dasyscopelus lychnobius Bolin, 1946
- Dasyscopelus obtusirostris (Tåning, 1928) (bluntsnout lanternfish)
- Dasyscopelus orientalis (Gilbert, 1913) (Oriental lanternfish)
- Dasyscopelus selenops (Tåning, 1928) (Wisner's lantern fish)
- Dasyscopelus spinosus (Steindachner, 1867) (spiny lantern fish)
