View data on Catalog of Fishes here.

Escal appendage pattern B; esca of 16.5-mm specimen (that of the holotype badly damaged) with anterior appendage short and stout, not longer than escal bulb, bearing a fringe of filaments on lateral margin near base and a single unbranched filament on anterior margin; a stout forked medial escal appendage, more than three times length of escal bulb, bearing four or five short branches near base; left fork of medial appendage with two, relatively short branches; an unbranched finger-like posterior escal appendage shorter than escal bulb; lateral and anterolateral escal appendages absent.

Subopercle short and broad, without indentation on posterodorsal margin; length of ventral fork of opercle 24.2–24.7% SL; ratio of lengths of dorsal and ventral forks of opercle 0.37–0.45.

Epibranchial teeth absent; teeth present on pharyngobranchial II; total number of teeth in upper jaw 18–38, in lower jaw 31–44; number of teeth on vomer 6 or 7; dorsal-fin rays 5; anal-fin rays 4; pectoral-fin rays 15–17.

Measurements in percent of standard length: head length 40.8–45.4; head depth 33.3–42.2; premaxilla length 29.6–36.3; lower jaw length 46.3–51.5; illicium length 15.1–22.2.

A species of Oneirodes unique among its congeners in escal morphology.

Oneirodes macronema is known from only two specimens, one collected in the Caribbean Sea with 1000 m of wire, and the other from off Oahu, Hawaii, somewhere between the surface and 1000 m.

Probably meso- to bathypelagic.

Although unknown, males of O. macronema are certainly free living and non-parasitic, as is the case with most oneirodid taxa.

Known from two metamorphosed females (16.5–27 mm).

Holotype of Oneirodes macronema: ZMUC P9282, 27 mm, DANA 1256(1), Caribbean Sea, 17°43'N, 64°56'W, 1000 m wire, 1920 hr, 4 March 1922.

Characterized by having escal morphology: esca with anterior appendage short and stout, not longer than escal bulb, bearing a fringe of filaments on lateral margin near base and a single unbranched filament on anterior margin; stout, forked medial escal appendage, more than three times length of escal bulb, bearing 4-5nshort branches near base; left fork of medial appendage with 2 relatively short branches; unbranched fingerlike posterior escal appendage shorter than escal bulb; lateral and anterolateral escal appendage absent; subopercle short and broad, without indentation on posterodorsal margin; length of ventral fork of opercle 24.2-24.7% SL; ratio of lengths of the dorsal and ventral forks of opercle 0.37-0.45; absence of epibranchial teeth; presence of teeth on pharyngobranchial II; upper jaw teeth 18-38, lower jaw teeth 31-44; teeth on vomer 6-7; dorsal fin rays 5; anal fin rays 4; pectoral fin rays 15-17; head length 40.8-45.4% SL; head depth 33.3-42.2% SL; premaxilla length 29.6-36.3% SL; length of lower jaw 46.3-51.5% SL; length of illicium 15.1-22.2% SL (Ref. 86949).

Dorsal soft rays (total): 5; Analsoft rays: 4
