Eurypharynx pelecanoides Vaillant, 1882 .

Umbrellamouth Gulper. To more than 100 cm (39.3 in) TL (Nielsen and Bertelsen in Whitehead et al. 1986). Circumglobal; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan ( Shinohara et al. 2009) and Russian north-western Pacific ( Orlov and Tokranov 2019); Oregon (45°10’N, 124°40’W) (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington) to Chile (23°36’S, 71°30’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Depth: 425 to at least 3,000 m (1,394 –9,840 ft) (min.: Clarke and Wagner 1976; max.: Smith in Carpenter and De Angelis 2016). The widely cited maximum depth of 7,625 (25,010 ft) (e.g., Kamikawa 2017) does not appear to be creditable ( Fujii et al. 2010).
