Monognathus 单颌鳗属
（重定向自Monognathidae）
Monognathus, or onejaw, is the only genus of the family Monognathidae of deep-sea, eel-like fishes. The name comes from the Greek monos meaning one and gnathos meaning jaw, a reference to the large mouth in comparison with the rest of the fish, and also the absence of an upper jaw (maxilla and premaxilla bones are absent). The dorsal and anal fins lack bony supports, the pectoral fins are missing. The snout has a fang which is connected to glands.
