Stomiidae
Stomiidae is a family of deep-sea ray-finned fish, including the barbeled dragonfishes, that live in all oceans in a wide range of depths. They are quite small, usually around 15 cm, up to 26 cm, and they exhibit a strong sexual dimorphism. These fish are apex predators and have enormous jaws filled with fang-like teeth. They are also able to hinge the neurocranium and upper-jaw system, which leads to the opening of the jaw to more than 100 degrees. This ability allows them to consume extremely large prey, often 50% greater than their standard length. Evolution Due to their extreme habitats, stomiids are very rare in the fossil record. The oldest known genus is '' Azemiolestes'' Prokofiev, 2001 from the Middle Eocene (Lutetian) of Georgia. Other fossil genera include '' Abruzzoichthys'' Carnevale, 2002 from the Middle Miocene of Italy and '' Mrazecia'' Pauca, 1929 from the Early Oligocene of Romania.

Idiacanthus
''Idiacanthus'' is a genus of barbeled dragonfishes, the larvae of which are noted for exhibiting the Stylophthalmine trait. Species There are currently three recognized species in this genus: * ''Idiacanthus antrostomus'' Charles Henry Gilbert, C. H. Gilbert, 1890 (Pacific blackdragon) * ''Idiacanthus atlanticus'' August Bernhard Brauer, A. B. Brauer, 1906 (Black dragonfish) * ''Idiacanthus fasciola'' Wilhelm Peters, W. K. H. Peters, 1877 (Ribbon sawtail fish) Ecology Distribution and habitat Members of this genus have been found from the mesopelagic zone to the bathypelagic zone. ''Idiacanthus atlanticus'' is found in subtropical to temperate habitats, mainly in the southern hemisphere. ''Idiacanthus fasciola'' is more widely distributed, found in both North and South Atlantic as well as the Indo-Pacific and other areas. ''Idiacanthus antrostomus'' is mainly found in the Eastern Pacific. Reproduction The average fertile ''Idiacanthus fasciola'' female is known to hold a ...

Chirostomias
''Chirostomias pliopterus'' is a species of barbeled dragonfish found in the Atlantic Ocean. This species grows to a length of SL. This species is the only described member of its genus. This scaleless dragonfish was also the first discovered life form to emit a red light, with the second being a siphonophore of the genus ''Erenna''.

Aristostomias
''Aristostomias'' is a genus of barbeled dragonfishes native to the ocean depths in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Ocean, Indian oceans. Red Light Bioluminescence Production of red light bioluminescence Similar to other deep-sea organisms that are capable of producing red light bioluminescence, including ''Pachystomias'', ''Aristostomias'' has large suborbital photophores that produce red-shifted cold light. In addition, ''Aristostomias'' has postorbital photophores that emit blue-green light. Visual systems Most meso- and bathypelagic fish are only able to see shortwave light, as their retinae possess rods with rhodopsins sensitive to blue light. ''Aristostomias'' is able to detect red-shifted light, as their retinae have long-wave absorbing rhodopsins and porphyropsins that can detect wavelengths of up to 590 nm. ''Aristostomias'' can detect red light at distances of up to 2 meters, suggesting that detection is used primarily for close-range intraspecific communic ...
