[2] Like the true frogfishes, it is a small fish, no more than 5 cm (2.0 in) in length, with loose skin and a lure (esca) for attracting prey.

[3] L. boschmai are restricted to the western central pacific and are found in the Arafura Sea near Merauke, and Indonesia.

[4][5] Similar fishes in the same area as the L. boschmai are the Lophiidae, Antennariidae, Tetrabrachiidae, Chaunacidae, and Ogcocephalidae.

Not a lot is known about L. boschmai, but like other benthic anglerfish, there are presumed to be carnivorous, waiting quietly for smaller fish to pass by so that they can bait them into their mouths.

The Lophinchythys gills are restricted to a small pore located at the end of a short tube, above the pectoral fin base.

The skin is white on the belly and light pink on the lateral and dorsal surfaces of head and body.
