Barathronus pacificus Nielson & Eagle, 1974.
To 12.8 cm (5 in) SL (Nielsen and Eagle 1974). North and southeast Atlantic, southwest and northeast Pacific Ocean (Fricke et al. 2020); between Australia and New Zealand (Okiyama and Kato 1997); Oregon to northern California (Matarese et al. 1989). Benthopelagic (Nielsen and Cohen in Nielsen et al. 1999); depth: 3,334 –3,860 m (10,938 –12,664 ft) (min.: Nielsen and Eagle 1974; max.: Pearcy et al. 1982). We follow Møller et al.
