Two new species of eelpouts (Teleostei, Zoarcidae) of the genus Seleniolycus from the Ross Dependency, Antarctica
Detailed examination of eelpouts (Zoarcidae) in recently collected material from the Ross Dependency, Antarctica, and held by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, revealed two undescribed species of Seleniolycus Anderson, 1988. They both differ from the type species Seleniolycus laevifasciat...

Seleniolycus robertsi inhabits slightly shallower depths than S. pectoralis (1455–2290 vs. 1948–2594 m).
