Introduction
Although Yuri Sazonov had identified material in the CSIRO National Fish Collection in Hobart as Alepocephalus cf antipodianus, Williams & Sazonov (2008) treated the species as A. antipodianus. Records of this species in Australia may represent more than one species. There is frequent confusion between A. antipodianus and A. asperifrons and they are currently considered as a species complex (Williams & Stewart 2015).
