# Lasiognathus beebei

Lasiognathus beebei is a species of wolftrap angler known from around the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean and from around Madeira and Bermuda in the Atlantic. It is found at depths of around 1,100 metres (3,600 ft). The females of this species grow to a length of 11.5 centimetres (4.5 in) TL. This species is distinguishable by its hooks being placed on a short, transverse, fan-shaped distal escal appendage as opposed to the elongated, cylindrical appendage of all other species. Its species name honors naturalist William Beebe.
