Jeboehlkia gladifer has a moderately elongate and compressed body with a largeeye and pointed snout with a quite large mouth which is slightly oblique and has a projecting lower jaw .

[2] Jeboehlkia gladifer is found in the western Atlantic Ocean where it occurs from South Carolina to the southern part of the Caribbean Sea.

[4] Jeboehlkia gladifer was first formally described in 1967 by the American C. Richard Robins (1928-2020) with the type locality being given as "Caribbean Sea, 16°06'N, 81°10.5'W, Oregon station 4932, depth 90 fathoms".

[5] The generic name honours the American ichthyologist James Erwin Böhlke (1930-1982) while the specific name gladifer means "sword bearing" in Latin and refers to the blade like spine in the dorsal fin.
