A family of small deep-sea fish with bony plated bodies, including the genus Amphisile.
From 'Amphisile' + the Latin taxonomic family suffix '-idae', established as a scientific family in the 1800s.
Amphisilidae are so strange that when sailors occasionally caught them in deep nets, people thought they were seeing mythical sea creatures—their armor plating and weird shapes fueled sea monster legends.
