Etymology: Eustomias: Greek, eu = good + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335); orientalis: Named for its distribution in the orient.
Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino pelagic-oceanic; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 150 m (Ref. 11333). Deep-water
Western Pacific: Japan and north of New Guinea.
Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 16.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 559)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 24; Raggi anali molli: 36; Vertebre: 68. Two terminal bulbs separated by a very short interspace (0.5-0.6 times length of distal bulb). Barbel 50-53% SL. Terminal filament short, 4.1-5.3% SL without branches. Distal bulb 1.8 times length of proximal bulb in small specimens, 0.7 in larger ones. Proximal bulb in larger specimens large for its size, 1.5 mm at 118 mm SL. Barbel without pigment in smaller specimens; larger ones with fairly dense pigment in proximal part of axis, little or none in distal part. External chevron-shaped or roundish striated area on stem not pigmented. Middorsal paired spots between occiput and dorsal-fin origin 8 (Ref. 11333).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Mesopelagic species (Ref. 559).
