In the systematic account they are therefore accorded subgeneric status. The second group of fierasfers contains only two species which have been available for examination, those originally described as Ophidium dentatum Cuvier and Echiodon Drummondi Thompson. These species have been frequently confused with each other and generally assigned to Carapus. Both in structure and appearance, however, they differ considerably from the group of species so far considered. The body is considerably longer and the trunk region of the vertebral column comprises 27-28 vertebrae, the first two of which are similar to the first two of the species.
