Short Description
Original description after GÜNTHER, 1887 [1023]: Centroscyllium granulatum. n. sp. The discovery of a specimen of this Arctic genus in the opposite hemisphere is highly interesting ; unfortunately the specimen is in such a deteriorated condition, that we can ascertain from it scarcely anything beyond its generic characters. Specifically, it must be very closely allied to Centroscyllium fabricii, having the same disposition of the fins, size of teeth and dorsal spines, but the epidermoid productions of the head and body are much coarser, and in the form of granulations, whilst in Centroscyllium fabricii they are minute. Habitat. Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, Station 311; depth, 245 fathoms. One specimen, 11 inches long.
