comparison with the large examples is very difficult. The snout seems to be a little 

 longer in the type and the mouth consequently occupies a more ventral position, but 

 this is a character that may well change with growth. 



Coryphaenoides whitsoni (Regan), from the Antarctic, is closely related, but the scales 

 on the body have only one series of spinules and there are other minor differences. 

 C. carinatus (Giinther), from Prince Edward Island, has a somewhat smaller eye, 

 smaller scales, and the pectoral fin has 21 rays.
