  • Blackwinged hatchetfish, Carnegiella marthae
  • Pygmy hatchetfish, Carnegiella myersi
  • Dwarf hatchetfish, Carnegiella schereri
  • Marbled hatchetfish, Carnegiella strigata
Genus Gasteropelecus (Scopoli, 1777)
  • Silver hatchetfish, Gasteropelecus levis
  • Spotted hatchetfish, Gasteropelecus maculatus
  • Common hatchetfish, Gasteropelecus sternicla
