Chiasmodontidae (Snaketooth fishes)
Etymology: Pseudoscopelus: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, skopelos = a lantern fish (Ref. 45335). Lütken did not recognize the presence of photophores on the body, confusing them with pores, but referred to a genus of lanternfish (Scopelus now Myctophum) when he named the genus (Ref. 85782).

Taxonomic Remarks
No valid specimen of P. sagamianus was found by Spitz et al. (Ref. 75979), types were lost and 6 examined specimens were found to be P. scriptus; validity of this species depends on the 1908 lost record (Ref. 75979).
