Etymology: Boehlkenchelys: Because of Dr. James Böhlke + Greek, enchelys,-yos = eel (Ref. 45335); longidentata: Named for its long, needle-like teeth.
Eponymy: James Erwin Böhlke (1930–1982) and his wife Eugenia Louisa Böhlke née Brandt (1929–2001) were both ichthyologists who worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where he was Curator of Ichthyology (1954–1982). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Clés d'identification | Morphologie | Morphométrie
Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 340 - 373; Rayons mous anaux: 253 - 294; Vertèbres: 121 - 128. Uniformly olive-brown in life. Body depth 27-31; HL 7.5 - 7.7 (Ref. 37816). Dorsal fin begins above or slightly anterior to the gill opening. Pectoral fin well-developed, rounded, almost twice eye diameter in length. Snout relatively deep. Gape moderate, rictus behind posterior margin of eye. Anterior nostril tubular, slightly behind tip of snout, directed anterolaterally. Posterior nostril a simple elliptical opening in front of middle of eye. Lateral line obsolete except for 2-3 pores in the branchial region (Ref. 40884).
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like; Cross section: compressed.
Inhabits seaward reef slopes.
