''Myroconger'' is the only genus of eels, the thin eels, in the family Myrocongridae. Very little is known about the group. Until recently, only a single specimen from this family was known. This individual had been caught off St Helena in 1868. In the 1990s and 2000s, deep-sea submersibles identified several more individuals, including four further species. The first known species, ''M. compressus'', was bright red in colour, but not all other species share this trait. ==Species== The currently recognized species in this genus are: * ''Myroconger compressus'' Günther, 1870 (red eel) * ''Myroconger gracilis'' Castle, 1991 * ''Myroconger nigrodentatus'' Castle & Béarez, 1995 (orange eel) * ''Myroconger prolixus'' Castle & Béarez, 1995 * ''Myroconger seychellensis'' Karmovskaya, 2006 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Myroconger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
