Ariosoma kapala (common name mottled conger) [2] is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels). [4] It was first described in 1990 by Peter H. J. Castle as Poeciloconger kapala. [5] The holotype was collected by the New South Wales Fisheries Research Vessel Kapala on April 11, 1985, during a bottom trawl at a depth of 46–64 m. [5] The species was named for the FRV Kapala. [5] In 1998, Shieh-Chieh Shen moved the species to the genus Ariosoma. [3] [6]
