Polyipnus
''Polyipnus'' is a genus of oceanic ray-finned fish in the family Sternoptychidae. This is the largest genus of the marine hatchetfishes subfamily Sternoptychinae and indeed of the entire Sternoptychidae. It is not quite as apomorphic as their relatives; it may be that the genus is actually a paraphyletic assemblage of less advanced Sternoptychinae and would need to be split. Fossils of this genus show that they have existed at least since the Early Oligocene, about 30 million years ago. Species There are currently 33 recognized species in this genus: * '' Polyipnus aquavitus'' R. C. Baird, 1971 (aquavit hatchetfish) * '' Polyipnus asper'' Harold, 1994 * '' Polyipnus asteroides'' L. P. Schultz, 1938 * '' Polyipnus bruuni'' Harold, 1994 * '' Polyipnus clarus'' Harold, 1994 (slope hatchetfish) * ''Polyipnus danae'' Harold, 1990 * '' Polyipnus elongatus'' Borodulina, 1979 * '' Polyipnus fraseri'' Fowler, 1934 * '' Polyipnus indicus'' L.

Sternoptychidae
The marine hatchetfishes or deep-sea hatchetfishes as well as the related bottlelights, pearlsides and constellationfishes are small deep-sea ray-finned fish of the stomiiform family Sternoptychidae. They are not closely related to and should not be confused with the freshwater hatchetfishes, which are teleosts in the characiform family Gasteropelecidae. The Sternoptychidae have 10 genera and about 70 species altogether.Nelson (2006): p.209 The scientific name means "''Sternoptyx''-family", from ''Sternoptyx'' (the type genus) + the standard animal family suffix "-idae". The type genus derives from Ancient Greek ''stérnon'' (στέρνον, "breast") + ''ptýx'' (πτύξ, "a fold/crease") + Latin ''forma'' ("external form"), the Greek part in reference to the thorax shape of marine hatchetfishes. Description and ecology Found most often at depths of 200–600 meters in tropical, subtropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, marine hatchetfishes ra ...
