Oneirodes bradburyae is a species of marine ray-finned fish belongig to the family Oneirodidae, the dreamers, a family of deep-sea anglerfishes. This fish is known from a single specimen, the holotype which was collected in the Gulf of Mexico at 28°28'N, 87°18'W, the Oregon station 1028, from a depth between the surface and 780 fathoms (4,680 ft; 1,430 m). The species was described in 1956 by the American ichthyologist Marion Griswold Grey of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.[2] The holotype was a female with a standard length of 2.3 cm (0.91 in) and had a very long illicium, no incision on the upper posterior margin of the operculum.[3] The specific name honours the American scientific illustrator and ichthyologist Margaret G. Bradbury, who worked at the Field Museum of Natural History and who illustrated Grey's description.[4]
