| Summary: | Coryphaenoides leptolepis Günther, 1877. Ghostly Grenadier . To 62 cm (24.4 in) TL or more (Geistdoerfer in Quéro et al. 1990). Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; western Pacific Ocean north to Japan (Iwamoto and Stein 1974); west of Prince of Wales Island in Gulf of Alaska (Bean 1890; locality corrected in Mecklenburg et al. 2002), and off Dixon Entrance, northern British Columbia (Love et al. 2005) to southwest of Cabo San Lucas, southern Baja California (Iwamoto and Stein 1974). Benthopelagic; depth: 145–4,300 m (476–14,104 ft) (min.: Benson and McFarlane 2008; max.: Gaither et al. 2016). In subgenus Chalinura, which some authors treat as a genus. This account includes Coryphaenoides ( Chalinura ) liocephalus (Günther, 1887) in the synonymy of C. leptolepis. The two forms could be distinct (although currently this is not considered likely), in which case C. liocephalus would be the name for the Pacific species; see discussion and citations in Mecklenburg et al. (2002).
