Centrophryne
The horned lantern fish or prickly seadevil (Centrophryne spinulosa), is a species of marine ray-finned fish and the only species in the monotypic family Centrophrynidae. This species has a circumglobal distribution and is distinguished from other deep-sea anglerfishes by several characteristics, including four pectoral radials, an anterior spine on the subopercular bone, and a short hyoid (chin) barbel in both sexes.
