Environnement : milieu / zone climatique / profondeur / gamme de distribution
Écologie
marin bathydémersal; profondeur 329 - 576 m (Ref. 40828). Deep-water
Western Central Atlantic: Caribbean coast of Colombia and Venezuela.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 50.2 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 40789)
Vertèbres: 160 - 166. Similar to Japonoconger sivicolus but with more head pores. Basic pattern of supratemporal pore seems to be a median pore flanked on each side by a pore midway to the lateral line and another pore immediately above the first lateral-line pore. Anomalies common, but no specimen less than four. Some specimens with one or two postorbital pores; Supratemporal pores show considerable variation, but no specimen has fewer than six.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
