It has six rows of hexagonal areas above a lateral series of large photophores. The dorsal and anal fins are opposite each other, just anterior to the caudal fin. Distribution and habitat ''Stomias boa'' is mesopelagic and bathypelagic, living at depths of in seas worldwide, particularly off the Atlantic coast of North America, in the Mediterranean and in a band 20°–45° S.

Stomias Boa Ferox
''Stomias boa ferox'' is a subspecies of deep-sea fish in the family Stomiidae. Description ''Stomias boa ferox'' has an elongated body and small head; it is up to in length, black underneath and iridescent silver on its flanks, with a barbel that has a pale stem, dark spot at base of bulb and three blackish filaments. It has six rows of hexagonal areas above a lateral series of large photophores. The dorsal and anal fins are opposite each other, just anterior to the caudal fin. It can be distinguished from the ''S. boa boa'' subspecies by its larger number of photophores. Name The subspecies name ''ferox'' means "wild, ferocious." It is sometimes called dragon-boa, dragonfish or boa dragonfish, but those names are equally applied to ''Stomias boa'' as a species, or the '' S. boa boa'' subspecies. In Icelandic it is ''marsnákur'' ("sea snake") and in Norwegian ''storkjeft'' ("big jaw"). Distribution and habitat ''Stomias boa ferox'' is mesopelagic and bathypelagic, living at ...
