The teeth of the lower jaw could not be counted in the dry 

 specimen as the lip was curled over ; they seemed to be about as 

 numerous as those of the upper jaw. Tail smooth, less in length 

 than the disc, and without a spine. Proportions generally like 

 D. eregoodoo, but the cephalic fins are relatively shorter than in 

 that species ; furthermore, the termination of the disc between the 

 cephalic fins is wider, and forms a more open curve (more nearly 

 a straight line) than in D. eregoodoo.
