Members of the Stomiinae can be recognized in the Stomiidae by an elongated to very elongated body; snout short; both the dorsal- and anal-fins about opposite to each other, located far behind the pelvic-fin; a long chin barbel, ending in a terminal swelling with either small filaments or appendages; 5–6 rows of closely spaced, scale-like, hexagonal cells; photophores present on each hexagonal cell; adipose fins absent (Gibbs, 1969; Harold, 2003; Nelson et al., 2016; Kenaley, Stewart, 2015f). A single genus (Fricke et al., 2022).
