Xenomystax atrarius Gilbert has been considered a possible representative of as many as three eel families (Congridae, Muraenesocidae, and Nettastomidae) by recent authors. Although the species is described in detail in this account, it cannot be definitely assigned to a family without major revision of these families. The species is now known from 19 specimens captured mostly near the continental slope of the eastern Pacific Ocean between Valparaiso, Chile, and Vancouver Island, B.C. Xenomystax rictus Garman 1899 should be considered a junior subjective synonym of X. atrarius Gilbert 1891.

During a recreational fishing trip on May 2017 to Isla Montuosa, Pacific coast of Panama (7.467472, -82.266556; 30 m depth), a specimen belonging to the genus Caranx was captured. The specimen showed an unusual combination of external characters, intermediate among the species known to occur in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP), which caught the attention of the fishermen. A detailed analysis involving traditional morphology and molecular techniques revealed that the specimen corresponds to a hybrid of the species C. melampygus and C. sexfasciatus. This represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first confirmed record of hybridization within the genus and family in the TEP and the second record for the entire Pacific Ocean.
