The shorttail conger[3] (Paraconger similis) is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).[4] It was described by Charles Barkley Wade in 1946, originally under the genus Chiloconger.[5] It is a subtropical, marine eel which is known from the eastern and southeastern Pacific Ocean, including Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, the Galapagos Islands, Panama, and Revillagigedo.[1] It dwells at a depth range of 108–150 metres. Males can reach a maximum total length of 30 centimetres.[4]
Due to its widespread distribution, lack of known threats, and lack of observed population decline, the IUCN redlist currently lists the Shorttail conger as Least Concern.[1]
