Etymology: Monognathus: Greek, monos = one + Greek, gnathos = jaw (Ref. 45335); bertini: Named for Leon Bertin in recognition of his pioneer contributions to the systematics of this family.
Eponymy: Dr Léon Bertin (1896–1954) was a French zoologist and ichthyologist at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris and a noted scientific illustator. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Raios dorsais (total) : 91 - 98; Raios anais : 43 - 58. M. bertini differs from all other species of the genus by the great distance between anal fin origin and anus (13-19 myomeres). It is further distinguished by the following combination of characters: head short, snout relatively long, skull length 3.6-4.9% TL, rostral fang with dorsal profile slightly convex forming an almost straight line with frontal part of skull, dorsal fin origin above myomere number 5-7, pectoral fin 5.3-10.5% TL and no lateral, subdermal spots of pigmentation (Ref. 34506).
All specimens were caught in the water column far above the bottom (Ref. 34506).
