Short Description
Orignal diagnosis of KAWAUCHI, WEIGMANN & NAKAYA, 2014 [21664]: A species of the ‘brunneus group’ of Apristurus with: upper labial furrows clearly longer than lower ones; first dorsal fin much smaller than second dorsal fin, originating distinctly posterior to level of pelvic-fin insertion; second dorsal-fin insertion clearly anterior to level of anal-fin insertion; snout moderately long, its tip pointed; pre-outer nostril length slightly greater than internarial width, about 0.6–0.8 times interorbital width; abdomen very short; pectoral-pelvic space much shorter than anal-fin base length; pectoral-fin tip posterior to level of midpoint of pectoral-pelvic space; 17–19 spiral valves; 33–36 monospondylous and 34–38 precaudal diplospondylous vertebrae; small dermal denticles giving a velvety texture to body surface; no enlarged dermal denticles along dorsal margin of caudal fin; claspers without hooks, posterior margin of exorhipidion forming a free lobe; body and fins uniformly medium or dark brown.

Dentition
Teeth numerous and small; upper anterior and upper lateral teeth with a long, robust central cusp and one or two short, sharp lateral cusps on each side of the central cusp; lower anterior and lower lateral teeth with a long, robust central cusp and two or three short lateral cusps on each side of the central cusp [21664]
