Summary:Sphoeroides angusticeps (Jenyns, 1842). Narrow-headed Puffer. To 25 cm (9.8 in) TL (Fischer et al. 1995). Bahía Magdalena, southern Baja California (Rodríguez-Romero et al. 2011); Mazatlán, Mexico (FMNH 96387), Islas Galápagos (Grove and Lavenberg 1997). Benthic; depth: at least as shallow as 2 m (6 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to 20 m (66 ft) (Robertson and Allen 2015). Once thought to be endemic to the Islas Galápagos, but apparently found in several places in the tropical and subtropical eastern Pacific.
