What is "neoscopelidae"

The Neoscopelidae (blackchins or neoscopelids) are a small family of deep-sea fish closely related to the lanternfish. They are found in tropical and subtropical marine waters worldwide.

They can be distinguished from the lanternfish only by a few technical characters, such as the position of the anal fin being far behind that of the dorsal fin. Some species also lack the light-emitting organs ( photophores) of the lanternfish. They are typically between in length. One genus has photophores arranged in a single series along the edge of the tongue and one or two along the ventral surface of the body.
