Panturichthys fowleri

Panturichthys fowleri, commonly known as Fowler's shortfaced eel, is an eel in the family Heterenchelyidae. It was described by Adam Ben-Tuvia in 1953, originally under the genus Lophenchelys. It is a subtropical, marine eel which is known from a single specimen collected from Israel, in the Mediterranean Sea. The holotype specimen was discovered dwelling at a depth range of 27–55 metres.
The fish's name is in honor of Henry Weed Fowler, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, for his help in determining the identity of two other undescribed fishes from Israel.
