Name

Spicomacrurus dictyogadus Iwamoto, Shao & H.-C. Ho, 2011: 518, Fig. 2A-D

Type locality: Vanuatu, Coral Sea, 16°18'00" S, 167°46'59" E, depth 657-685 meters.

  • Diagnosis:A species of Spicomacrurus with 9–10 pelvic fin rays; nasal bones broadly separated mesially by the rostral cartilage; interorbital width narrow, 1.95 into orbit; upper jaw long, 2 times into HL ; body and head relatively deep and compressed, greatest body width about 2 times into greatest depth; suborbital depth about 3.5 into orbit diameter; scale rows below origin of second dorsal fin 5 and half.
  • Distribution. Known only from the single specimen taken off Vanuatu in 657–685 meters.
  • Etymology. From the Greek diktyon, meaning net or mesh, in reference to the netlike or mesh-like epithelium of gular membrane, and gados, cod fish.
