Short Description
Orignal diagnoseafter ANGULO, LÓPEZ, BUSSING & MURASE, 2014 [21520]: A species of the genus Chimaera based on the presence of an anal fin. Chimaera orientalis sp. nov is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: oral and preopercular canals sharing a short common branch off the infraorbital canal; dorsal spine long (DSA 28.4–31.0% BDL), longer than first dorsal fin, when depressed reaches beyond to origin of second dorsal fin; first dorsal fin high (D1H 20.8–26.7% BDL) with a short base (D1B 10.3–12.5% BDL); interdorsal space long (IDS 8.1–10.2% BDL); pectoral fin long (P1A 40.0–43.5% BDL), when depressed reaches beyond to origin of pelvic fin base; pelvic claspers long (CLT 17.5–17.7% BDL), bifurcate, divided at about distal 40.9–43.1% of its length; dorsal caudal space long (DCS 2.0–2.5% BDL); ventral caudal margin ending slightly posterior to dorsal caudal margin; and dark brown coloration with the ventral portion of the trunk and all fins slightly darker, without distinctive markings or mottling.
