Short Description
Original diagnosis after DIDIER, LAST & WHITE, 2008 [3357]: Chimaera macrospina is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: thin, deciduous skin; uniformly chocolate brown in colour; preopercular and oral lateral line canals usually sharing a common branch; dorsal spine long, longer than first dorsal fin; claspers of adult male short (11–13% BDL), trifurcate, divided at about distal third of clasper; structure of the CO1 gene.
