| Abstract: | New information concerning the distribution and biology of anomalopid fishes is presented. There are five valid described species:Anomalops katoptron andPhotoblepharon palpebratus, widely distributed in the central and western Pacific Ocean;P. steinitzi from the Red Sea and Comoro Islands;Kryptophanaron alfredi from the Caribbean; andK. harveyi from Baja California.P. steinitzi differs fromP. palpebratus in coloration, head bone ornamentation, and pelvic ray number. The second known specimen ofK. harveyi is described in detail. The occurrence of large specimens ofAnomalops in deep water and small specimens in shallow water is discussed. Synonyms and a key to the species of anomalopids are provided. |
