Chiasmodontidae (Snaketooth fishes)
Etymology: Pseudoscopelus: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, skopelos = a lantern fish (Ref. 45335). Lütken did not recognize the presence of photophores on the body, confusing them with pores, but referred to a genus of lanternfish (Scopelus now Myctophum) when he named the genus (Ref. 85782).
More on author: Tanaka.
Issue
No valid specimen of P. sagamianus was found by Spitz et al. (Ref. 75979), types were lost and 6 examined specimens were found to be P. scriptus; validity of this species depends on the 1908 lost record (Ref. 75979).
