The luminous deepwater cardinalfish, Epigonus macrops (Brauer, 1906), is recorded for the first time from the southeastern Atlantic (a single specimen, 121.0 mm SL) and the Timor Sea (two specimens, 128.6 and 150.8 mm SL). These specimens are described and compared with other specimens of the species from Western Australia, Indonesia, the western North Atlantic, and the Galápagos Islands. The present study reviews previous reports on the distribution of E. macrops in the world.
