The Inotted lizardfish (Synodus evermanni) is a type of lizardfish that lives mainly in the Eastern Pacific.

S. evermanni is found in marine environments at a demersal depth range around 25–275 m (80–900 ft). This species is native to a tropical climate. The common length for an unsexed male is about 20 cm or 8 in. This species is known to occupy the areas of Eastern Pacific, Mazatlán, Mexico, Chilca, and Peru.[2] They are commonly found on soft bottoms in the ocean.[3] The Inotted lizardfish can be identified by its large eyes and knob chin. It also has a brownish grey, elongated body. The species is also known to have dark splotches on its back. This species is also frequently and accidentally caught by shrimp trawlers.[4] S. evermanni serves as no threat to humans.[5]
