Short Description
Original diagnosis of SÉRET & LAST, 2008 [3311]: A large species of Dipturus (to 128 cm TL) with the following combination of characters: disc with angular apices, width 69–81% TL, 1.2–1.3 times its length; snout angle 77–93°; tail length 0.7–1.1 in distance from snout tip to rear of cloaca, expanded at its midlength; tail width 1.3–1.7 times height at its midlength, 1.3–2.8 times at first dorsal-fin origin; preupper jaw length 17–23% TL, 1.9–2.6 times internasal width; ventral head length 28–36% TL; snout length 3.5–4.6 times interorbital width; orbit diameter 42–82% interorbital width; first dorsal-fin height 1.7–3.3 in its base length; distance from first dorsal-fin origin to tail tip 2.9–4.3 times first dorsal-fin base length, 0.5–1.2 times caudal-fin length; pelvic-fin anterior lobes relatively elongate 13–17% TL, length of posterior lobe 12–16% TL, length of anterior lobe 86–128% of posterior lobe; pelvic-fin base narrow, width 6.3–8.6% TL; disc mostly smooth, denticles confined to ventral snout and anteroventral margin; 0–1 nuchal thorns; tail with single thorn row in both sexes; total pectoral radials 95–99; trunk centra 29–34; predorsal centra 87–90; total centra about 139–148; tooth rows in upper jaw 34–39; dorsal and ventral surfaces dark brown to blackish with black pores on ventral surface of head; pelvic fins sometimes mottled white.
