Idiacanthus fasciola Peters, 1877 .

To 42 cm (16.5 in) SL (Roberts et al. 2015). Circumglobal; Oregon (Matarese et al. 1989) to off Ecuador (4°13’S, 85°01’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California). Depth: surface to 2,000 m (6,560 ft) (Morrow and Gibbs 1964). A record of 3,000 m (9,840 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) was based on the maximum depth fished by a midwater trawl and may represent a catch shallower than the maximum depth.
