Etymology:
Chiasmodon:
Name from the Greek 'chiasmos' which means diagonally arranged, and 'odous' for tooth or teeth.
.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; pelagic-oceanic; depth range 700 - 2745 m (Ref.
58426
), usually 750 - ? m (Ref.
6649
). Deep-water; 46°N - 5°S, 95°W - 5°E (Ref.
82429
)
North Atlantic: tropical and temperate; including Gulf of Mexico, from 95°W to 5°E, 46°N to 5°S (Ref.
82429
). Southwestern Atlantic: Argentina (Ref.
44852
).

Max length : 25.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref.

Vertebrae
: 43 - 44. This species is distinguished from its congeners by a set of characteristics: from
C. braueri
by the teeth on second ceratobranchial absent (vs. present) and supraorbital canal pores 7 (vs. 8); from
C. harteli
by total vertebrae 43-45 (vs. 47-48), supraorbital canal pores 7 (vs. six); from
C. microcephalus
by teeth on basibranchials well developed, 3-18, always present on second basibranchial and often on third basibranchial and second hypobranchial (vs. usually no teeth on basibranchials, rarely 1-3, small, restricted to second basibranchial); from
C. pluriradiatus
and
C. asper
, by pectoral-fin rays 13-14 (vs. 15-16), tiny dermal spinules on body of specimens larger than 45.0 mm absent (vs. with spinules), fang in premaxillary head 1 (vs. 2), and supraorbital pores 7 (vs. 8 and 9, respectively) and from
C. pluriradiatus
by lateral-line pores 86-93 (vs. 91-94); from
C. subniger
, by teeth on second basibranchial present (vs. none), infraorbital pores 14 (vs. 12-13, modally 13), snout elongate and pointed, 22.2-26.6% HL (vs. snout short and blunt, 21.4-23.9% HL), upper jaw 72.2-80.0% HL (vs. 63.9-72.7% HL), and lower jaw 80.0-86.7% HL (vs. 69.0-76.7% HL) (Ref.
82429
).
Mesopelagic to bathypelagic species (Ref.
6944
,
28429
). Specimens larger than 4.5 cm are more frequently collected between 730 and 1900 m with shallowest record being 150 m, the deepest 3900 m (mean 1390 m). Juveniles are found in shallower water, from 0 to 1,050 m (mean 542 m), with the smallest specimens (>10.0 mm) collected nearest to the surface (Ref.
82429
). Feed on whole fish, often of individuals longer than themselves (Ref.
9686
). Most specimens were taken at depths greater than 750 m (Ref.
6649
).
