Winteria telescopa, the binocular fish, or jelly-faced spookfish,[1] is a species of barreleye found in oceans around the world at depths from 400 to 2,500 metres (1,300 to 8,200 ft). This species grows to a length of 15 centimetres (5.9 in) SL. Unlike most barreleyes, this fish has more forward-facing eyes, but it still has the dome.[2] Also W. telescopa has been observed being able to rotate its eyes within a trait only shared with Macropinna microstoma.[3]
