Bythitidae sunt familia piscium viviparorum ordinis Ophidiiformium, qui in tropicis et subtropicis maris aquis omnem per orbem terrarum endemici sunt. Bythitidae sunt pisces parvi, circa 5 centimetra longi, qui prope superficiem et circa scopulos curalii habitant.[2] Nonnullae autem species in aqua dulci habitant; exempli gratia, Ogilbia pearsei in speluncis et foraminibus lapsis in Iucatania paeninsula Mexici inveniuntur.
