Etymology: Lampanyctus: Greek, lampas, -ados = torch + Greek, nykte = night (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Fowler.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino batipelagico; oceanodromo (Ref. 51243); distribuzione batimetrica ? - 1757 m (Ref. 280). Deep-water
Indo-West Pacific: Agulhas Current and off the west coast in Agulhas Water pockets (South Africa); also in tropical and subtropical waters between the South China Sea and the western Indian Ocean. Reported from Japan (Ref. 559) and Taiwan (Ref. 39633).
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 7.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 4066)
Spine dorsali (totale): 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 12-14; Spine anali 0; Raggi anali molli: 16 - 19. Anal organs 13-14; the elevated, anteriorly displaced second ventral organ (anterior of the vertical from first ventral organ) and the low anal organ and gill raker counts easily separate this species from all other congeners (Ref. 39633).
High-oceanic and mesopelagic; occurs in the upper 212 m at night.
