Dasyscopelus

Dasyscopelus is a genus of lanternfish, family Myctophidae.

Dasyscopelus was originally described as a subgenus of Scopelus (now Myctophum) by Albert Günther in 1864. Later on, starting from Bolin (1959), it was treated as a synonym of Myctophum. Dasyscopelus was resurrected and treated as full genus based on molecular data by Martin and colleagues in 2018. There are no definite morphological characters distinguishing these genera.

There are currently four recognized species in this genus:
