Short Description
Original diagnosis of Teramura, Senou & Hirase, 2024 [33037]: Chimaera stellata sp. nov. is a large species (886.6 mm TL, 559.8 mm BDL) distinguished from all other chimaerid species by the following combination of characters: body stocky; head robust, height of head posterior to eye 24.9% BDL; dorsal spine weakly concaved; second dorsal-fin base (D2B) 72.4% BDL; anterior edge of second dorsal-fin base to anterior edge of pectoral-fin base (D2P1) 33.5% BDL; pectoral fin teardrop shaped with weakly angled distal margin, not elongate, pectoral-fin anterior margin (P1A) 35.3% BDL, not reaching pelvic-fin origin when laid backward; pelvic fin semicircular, distal margin squared; anal fin present, distal margin pointed and pale gray; caudal fin broad, CDH 3.8% BDL, CVH 4.8% BDL; preopercular and oral lateral-line canals not sharing a common branch; trunk lateral-line canal nearly straight; body walnut brown with lighter dot-like spots.
