Polyipnus
Polyipnus is an oceanic ray-finned fish genus which belongs in the family Sternoptychidae. This is the largest genus of the marine hatchetfishes (Sternoptychinae) and indeed of the entire Sternoptychidae. It is not quite as apomorphic as their relatives; it may be that the genus is actually a paraphyletic assemblage of less advanced Sternoptychinae and would need to be split.
Species
There are currently 32 recognized species in this genus: [1]
Fossils of this genus show that they have existed at least since the Early Oligocene, about 30 million years ago.[2]
