Lasiognathus intermedius is a species of wolftrap angler known from the western Atlantic Ocean and the southeastern Pacific Ocean where it occurs at depths of around 1,265 metres (4,150 ft). The females of this species grow to a length of 12.9 centimetres (5.1 in) SL. This species has an elongated, cylindrical distal appendage with a short, cylindrical prolongation at the tip without any lateral serrations or filaments. The posterior escal appendage is cylindrical in shape. Its species name refers to its esca being intermediate in shape between those of L. beebei and those of L. saccostoma and L. waltoni.[1]
