* Thalassobathia pelagica Cohen, 1963 .

Pelagic Brotula . To 26 cm (10.2 in) SL. North Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Guinea (Fricke et al. 2020); one possible record from Commander Basin, western Bering Sea. Mesopelagic; depth: about 500–1,000 m (1,640 –3,281 ft). The Bering Sea specimen, which is the only one reported from the Pacific, was reported by Balanov and Fedorov (1996), who cautioned that the identification is disputable. If not T. pelagica, it may be an undescribed species. All in Mecklenburg et al. (2002).
