Ogcocephalus corniger, the longnose batfish, is a species of batfish found at depths between 29 and 230 m (95 and 755 ft) in the Atlantic Ocean, ranging from North Carolina to the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahamas.[3][4] Like other members of the family Ogcocephalidae, it has a flat triangular body with coloring varying from yellowish to purple with pale, round spots. The lips are orange-red.[2] Projecting from its head is a characteristic structure that is shared by other anglerfish.
