Stemonosudis macrura (Ege, 1933) .

Probably to 25 cm (9.8 in) SL (Post in Smith and Heemstra 1986). Indo-Pacific; western Pacific Ocean north to Ryukyu Islands (Nakabo in Nakabo 2002); central California (36°46’N, 122°35’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to Chile ( Pequeño 1989). Epipelagic and mesopelagic (Ambrose in Moser 1996); depth: 24 m (80 ft) to perhaps 2,100 m (6,888 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). The maximum depth record was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth. “Probably valid as Lestidiops macrurus (Ege, 1933) , (H.- C. Ho, pers. commun. 4/2020)” in Eschmeyer’s Catalog of Fishes. Accessed 9 May 2020.
