Etymology: Monognathus: Greek, monos = one + Greek, gnathos = jaw (Ref. 45335); herringi: Named for Peter J. Herring who was of great help to the authors by collecting and preserving Monognathus material on board the "Discovery".
Eponymy: Dr Peter John Herring is an oceanographer and deep-sea biologist, whose bachelor’s degree and doctorate were both awarded by Cambridge. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 78; Raggi anali molli: 58. M. herringi differs from the other species of the genus by the following combination of characters: head long with elongate, pointed snout, skull length 6.4% TL, rostral fang strongly hooked with distal part in a nearly right angle to dorsal profile of skull, anal fin origin below myomere number 28, and no lateral, subdermal spots of pigmentation.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
