Stylophthalmus was a name used for what was previously believed to be a genus of fish with eyes perched upon periscopic stalks, known in some cases to be almost one third of the length of the animal's actual body. It is now recognised that all species in this genus are the fish larvae of already named, distantly related fish in the orders Stomiiformes and Myctophiformes which may have developed this same trait as a result of convergent evolution. Thus, Stylophthalmus is an invalid name.
Flashlight fish is a common name for several fish and may refer to:
The Stylophthalmine trait is an adaptation present in the larvae of several different species of actinopterygian fish.

Stylophthalmine can be used as a general term to describe such larvae.
