}}Myroconger is the only genus of eels, the thin eels, in the family Myrocongridae. Very little is known about the group.[1]

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.[2] 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:[3]

  • 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
