Stomias atriventer Garman, 1899 .

Blackbelly Dragonfish. To 25 cm (10 in) TL (Fitch and Lavenberg 1968). Washington (48°N) (Bradburn et al. 2011) to Gulf of California to northern Chile (Moser in Moser 1996). Depth: 15–2,124 m (49–6,967 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Cruz-Acevedo et al. 2018). A record of 4,335 m (14,220 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.
