Polymetme is a genus of lightfishes.
There are currently six recognized species in this genus: [1]
The cutlassfishes are about 45 species of predatory fish in the family Trichiuridae found in seas throughout the world. Fish of this family are long, slender, and generally steely blue or silver in colour, giving rise to their name. They have reduced or absent pelvic and caudal fins, giving them an eel-like appearance, and large fang-like teeth.
Polyipnus is a genus of oceanic ray-finned fish in the family Sternoptychidae. This is the largest genus of the marine hatchetfishes subfamily Sternoptychinae and indeed of the entire Sternoptychidae. It is not quite as apomorphic as their relatives; it may be that the genus is actually a paraphyletic assemblage of less advanced Sternoptychinae and would need to be split.
Maurolicus is an oceanic ray-finned fish genus which belongs in the marine hatchetfish family Sternoptychidae. They are commonly known as pearlsides, but the brilliant pearlside is the related Argyripnus iridescens. Occasionally, "bristle-mouth fishes" is used as a common name, but that usually refers to the genus Argyripnus or the family Gonostomatidae.
Antigonia is a genus of boarfishes, the largest genus in its family. These are deep-water species, generally found at depths below 50 m (160 ft). Various extinct species were once placed within Antigonia, but have since been removed to Eoantigonia and Proantigonia

Exocoetus is a genus of flying fishes. It is a bony fish. The body is covered with cycloid scales. The mouth is wide, and the jaws bear teeth. It is a marine fish. The tail has hypobatic fins as the ventral lobe.
Myctophum is a genus of lanternfishes, some species of which, such as M. punctatum are noted for having the Stylophthalmine trait in their larval form.
The stareye lightfish is a species in the monotypic genus of Pollichthys. They are small stomiiform fishes found in oceans throughout the world. The maximum length is 6 cm. The genus is named after the Belgian ichthyologist Max Poll who described the species in 1953, originally placing it in the genus Yarrella. The species is named after Günther Maul.
Vinciguerria is a genus of bristlemouths. It is named for Dr. Decio Vinciguerra (1856-1934), an Italian ichthyologist.
Hyporhamphus is a genus of halfbeaks. The species in this genus are distributed throughout the warmer seas of the world, most species being Indo-Pacific and there are some freshwater species.
Ichthyococcus are a genus of lightfishes. It is one of seven genera in the family Phosichthyidae.
