Parmops coruscans is a species of flashlight fish native to the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Tahiti and from Fiji to French Polynesia.
[2] Like other anomalopids, it is notable for the light organs underneath its eyes, which contain bioluminescent bacteria.
To cover the organs, it rotates them down while sliding a black lid upward over each eye.
The lack of development in its shutter mechanism helps place it between Anomalops and Phthanophaneron on the evolutionary tree.
[1] It was first described in 1991 by ichthyologists R. H. Rosenblatt and G. D. Johnson from a single specimen found at Tahiti at a depth of 350 m (1,150 ft).
