Tarletonbeania crenularis is a species of lanternfish.[1] The first member of this species was retrieved by Dr. Tarleton H. Bean off of Vancouver Island in 1880, which is where the genus name originates from.[2] The species name comes from the Latin word for a small notch (crenula), and this refers to the slight notch seen at the edges of the scales.
