Tetraodontiformes (Puffers and filefishes) >
Monacanthidae (Filefishes)
Etymology: Aluterus: Name from Greek meaning not free or detached, referring to the pelvis that does not form a spiny project (as it does in triggerfish) (R. Chandler, pers. Comm. 10/2014)..
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marinhas demersal; intervalo de profundidade 3 - 2000 m (Ref. 58018), usually 10 - 100 m (Ref. 3592). Tropical; 43°N - 29°S, 98°W - 15°E
Atlantic Ocean: western Atlantic (from Massachusetts and Bermuda to Brazil) and eastern Atlantic (from Mauritania to Angola).
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 45.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 3592); common length : 30.0 cm TL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 26999)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 2; Raios dorsais (total) : 36 - 41; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais : 39 - 44. The rudimentary pelvic spine disappears in specimen larger than 13.5 cm SL (Ref. 36453).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 19.2 - 27.9, mean 24.8 °C (based on 816 cells).
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
