The specimen from which the description is drawn was taken at Station 
3395. The shape is that of D. wyra; the stronger spine and the fewer free 
pectoral rays of that species are present with the shorter dorsal of D. 
jfilamentosa. Head four and three fourths times in the total length; crown 
convex. Snout broad, rounded, more than one and one half times as long 
as the eye. Hinder nostril near the front of the eye; anterior halfway to 
the end of the snout, with a groove below and forward to the lip. Length 
of the eye two thirds of the width of the interorbital space, less than two 
thirds of the length of the snout, less than one sixth of the length of the 
head. Mouth wide, cleft half the length of the head; maxillary reaching 
backward of the eye one half of the ocular diameter, very wide at the end, 
one third wider than the eye. Tongue rudimentary. Teeth in villiform 
bands on jaws and palatines. Vomerine group small, one fourth as wide as 
the eye. Palatine bands curving inward at the forward ends, Gills, rakers, 
lamin, and membranes as in D. xigra. No pseudobranchiw. Dorsal origin 
about the width of the eye backward of the axil of the pectorals. Anal 
origin below the twentieth dorsal ray. Ventrals of two unequal, separated, 
filamentary rays, about two fifths as long as the head. Pectoral fin with 
seventeen or eighteen rays in the upper part, which is not as long as the 
head, and seven free rays in the lower section, the longest ray being one 
and one half times the length of the head. Caudal elongate, slender, of 
eight rays, united with dorsal and anal near the base. 
Seventeen inches in total length. 
Uniform black. ; 
Hardly entitled to more than varietal distinction from the typical D. 
nigra.
