其中半蛇鳗属（Haptenchelys texts）9例，尖吻Ilyophis arx（3例），尖吻Ilyophis arx（3例）。从北大西洋东部采集的标本中研究了棕鳃鱼（36）（合鳃科）、Nessorhamphus ingolfianus（5）（鳞鱼科）、Nettastoma melanurum（9）和Venefica proboscidea（3）（Nettastomatidae）。另外两个V. proboscidea也包括在南大西洋东部的材料中。这些样本用于补充这些鲜为人知的物种的不完整描述，以便进一步澄清它们的分类地位。从三个synaphobranchid物种的数据已被用来澄清亚家族的关系，并提供了一个初步的家庭诊断。它们还被纳入一份附有注释的检索表，以识别该地区发现的物种。此外，所有标本都提供了关于各种物种生态学的补充信息，包括水平和垂直分布，饮食和繁殖。
Specimens of Haptenchelys texts (9), Ilyophis arx (3), I. brunneus (36) (Synaphobranchidae), Nessorhamphus ingolfianus (5) (Derichthyidae), Nettastoma melanurum (9) and Venefica proboscidea (3) (Nettastomatidae) have been studied from collections in the eastern North Atlantic. An additional two V. proboscidea were also included from eastern South Atlantic material. The samples were used to augment the incomplete descriptions of these scantily known species, in order to allow further clarification of their taxonomic status. Data from the three synaphobranchid species have been used to clarify the sub-familial relationships and provide a preliminary family diagnosis. They have also been incorporated in an annotated key to the identification of the species found in the area. In an addition, all the specimens have provided supplementary information on the ecology of the various species, in aspects of distribution, both horizontal and vertical, diet and reproduction.
