Eponymy: Roger Mourlan (1912–1987) made two documentary films on expeditions of which he was a member -Madagascar (1932) with Georges Petit, during which expedition the pearfish holotype was collected, and Marcel Griaule’s Sahara-Sudan expedition (1935). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

পৃষ্ঠীয় নরম পাখনা দন্ড (মোট ) : 35 - 41; পায়ূর নরম পাখনা্তুন্ড: 54 - 61; কশেরুকা : 102 - 114. Eel-like, moderate to shallow body depth; cardiform teeth present but restricted to upper jaw symphysis; swim bladder constricted (under vertebrae 9 or 10) forming two chambers; lacking enlarged dentary or premaxillary fangs, dentary diastema, pelvic fins and swim bladder rockerbone (Ref. 34024). Differs from Encheliophis homei by possessing scattered melanophores over most of the body (Ref. 37816).
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like; Cross section: oval.
Common species (Ref. 34024). Found in starfishes (mainly) and holothurians (Ref. 4104), usually in a male - female pair (Ref. 11228). Benthic (Ref. 58302). In Micronesia, it prefers the pincushion starfish Culcita novaeguinae for a host. Also known to occur in certain holothurians (Bohadschia argus, Stichopus sp.) on rare occasions (Ref. 1602); for the first time with Isostichopus fuscus along the coast of Ecuador (Ref. 57700).
