Coelophrys bradburyae is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Ogcocephalidae, the deep sea batfishes.
Coelophrys bradburyae was first formally described in 1999 by the Japanese biologists Hiromitsu Endo and Gento Shinohara with its type locality given as off Hachinohe in the Aomori Prefecture of Honshu at 40°8.91'N, 142°15.42'E to 40°5.18'N, 142°13.49'E from a depth of 557–595 m (1,827–1,952 ft).
[3] The family Ogcocephalidae is classified in the monotypic suborder Ogcocephaloidei within the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes in the 5th edition of Fishes of the World.
The specific name honours the American ichthyologist Margaret G. Bradbury of San Francisco State Universityin recognition of her important contributions to the knowledge of the taxonomy of the Ogcocephalidae.
[8] Coelophrys bradburyae is known only from two nearby locations on the Northwestern Pacific Ocean off the eastern coast of Honshu, Japan.
