Evermannella melanoderma, the Indian sabertooth fish, is a species of the Evermannelidae family located in tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic Ocean. The body composition of E. melanoderma differs from other species, as their eyes are tubular and directed dorsally and slightly anteriorally. The eye diameter is much broader than the interorbital width as well.
