Deepwater Flathead [Papilloculiceps]
Description
Papilloculiceps, or deepwater flatheads, are distinguished by their adaptation to deeper marine environments compared to other flathead genera. They possess elongated bodies and a unique head structure that helps in navigating and hunting in these less-explored waters. Their presence in deeper waters indicates a diverse adaptability within the Platycephalidae family to various marine habitats.
