- Vinciguerria attenuata (Cocco, 1838) (Slender lightfish)
- Vinciguerria lucetia (Garman, 1899) (Panama lightfish)
- Vinciguerria mabahiss R. K. Johnson & Feltes, 1984
- Vinciguerria nimbaria (D. S. Jordan & T. M. Williams, 1895) (Oceanic lightfish)
- Vinciguerria poweriae (Cocco, 1838) (Power's deep-water bristle-mouth fish)
