Araiophos eastropas is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Araiophos. It lives in the Western Central Pacific. [1]
The marine hatchetfishes or deep-sea hatchetfishes as well as the related bottlelights, pearlsides and constellationfishes are small deep-sea ray-finned fish of the stomiiform family Sternoptychidae. They are not closely related to and should not be confused with the freshwater hatchetfishes, which are teleosts in the characiform family Gasteropelecidae. The Sternoptychidae have 10 genera and about 70 species altogether.
Araiophos gracilis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Araiophos. It is found in the Pacific Ocean.
