Bussing and Bussing, 1966:53–64, fig. 1.</p> <p>Diagnosis.— The genus Lagiacrusichthys can be distinguished from all other members of Scorpelarchidae based on the unique combination of the following characters modified from Bussing and Bussing (1966) and Johnson (1974): long anal fin with 35–39 anal-fin rays (17–30 in other species of Scopelarchidae); dorsal fin small and approximately same size or smaller than adipose fin, with a low dorsal-fin ray count of 5–6 (6–10 in other species of Scopelarchidae).</p> <p>Habitat and distribution.— Found predominantly in marine waters in the southern hemisphere with a circumpolar distribution in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (Bussing and Bussing, 1966; Johnson, 1974; Post, 1990).</p> <p>Collected predominantly from deep-sea open ocean environments (meso-bathypelagic) at depths ranging from 610–2750 meters (Bussing and Bussing, 1966; Johnson, 1974).</p> <p>Etymology.— Named for a wyvern, a dragon-like creature from mythology, specifically the sea-wyvern Lagiacrus, known for his fierceness and for inhabiting the deep. Treated as masculine.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E9318045FFEA8156FCDCFA00D091F986	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
