Synaphobranchidae
Cutthroat eels are a family, Synaphobranchidae, of eels, the only members of the suborder Synaphobranchoidei. They are found worldwide in temperate and tropical seas. Cutthroat eels range from in length. They are bottom-dwelling fish, found in deep waters down to about . They are distinguished by the presence of telescopic eyes in the larvae. In some classifications (for example, ITIS), this family is split, with '' Simenchelys'' in its own family, the Simenchelyidae. Subfamilies and genera Cutthroat eels are classified into the following subfamilies and genera: *Subfamily Simenchelyinae Gill, 1879 (pugnose parasitic eels) ** '' Simenchelys'' Gill, 1879 *Subfamily Ilyophinae D. S. Jordan & Davis, 1891 (arrowtooth eels or mustard eels) ** '' Atractodenchelys'' C.H. Robins & C. R.

Simenchelys
The snubnosed eel, ''Simenchelys parasitica'', also known as the pug-nosed eel, slime eel, or snub-nose parasitic eel, is a species of deep-sea eel and the only member of its genus. Some authors classify it as the sole member of the subfamily Simenchelyinae of the family Synaphobranchidae, or cutthroat eels, while others place it in its own monotypic family, the Simenchelyidae. It is found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, typically at a depth of near the bottom. Although typically a scavenger, it is better known for using its powerful jaws and teeth to burrow into larger fishes as a parasite. citing Saldanha, L. and M.-L. Bauchot, 1986.

Ilyophinae
Ilyophinae, the arrowtooth ells or mustard eels, is a subfamily of marine ray-finned fishes belongiing to the family Synaphobranchidae, the cutthroat eels. Within its family this subfamily shows greatest number of species and the greatest morphological diversity. Taxonomy The Ilyophinae was first proposed as the family Ilyophididae in 1891 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Bradley Moore Davis, this taxon has also been known as the Dysommidae, or Dysomminae, but this name was proposed by Theodore Gill but Jordan and Davi's name has priority. It is now regarded as a subfamily of the cutthroat eel family, Synaphobranchidae, within the eel order Anguilliformes. Etymology Ilyophinae has a name based on that of its type genus ''Ilyophis'', this name combines ''ilys'' which is Greek for "mud", probably an allusion to the soft, silty substrate habitat of '' I. brunneus'', with ''ophis'', meaning "serpent", referring to the snake-like shape of eels.
