Two more specimens are known from off the Agulhas Bank, South Africa. It differs from the partially sympatric <i>R. atlantica</i> Holt and Byrne, 1909, and the Pacific <i>R. pacifica</i> (Mitsukuri, 1895) in its darker coloration, longer, broader, paddle-shaped snout, tooth plates of different shape, a more elongate-oval clasper glans, a shorter caudal fin with very short filament, and possibly a smaller dorsal fin and longer interdorsal space. <i>R. africana</i> males are mature at 568 mm body length (BDL), females adolescent at 476 mm BDL. A large, probably adult female of 650 mm BDL is larger than any recorded <i>R. atlantica</i> or <i>R. africana</i>. Wounds on two specimens indicate possible \"cookie-cutter\" bites by squaloid sharks,and one has a possible bite by another Rhinochimaera. Data on <i>R. pacifica</i> and <i>R. atlantica</i>, including 45 specimens from off Namibia and South Africa, are presented for comparison with <i>R. africana</i>. Caudal tubercle counts of <i>R. africana</i> (40-46) are intermediate between those of <i>R. atlantica</i> (most with ]9-33, rarely up to 43) and of <i>R. pacifica</i> (41-68, rarely as low as 25-34). Southern African <i>R. atlantica</i> agree with North Atlantic <i>R. atlantica</i> in having few caudal tuberc]es, but there is slight overlap with <i>R. pacifica</i> in the case of higher counts recorded for <i>R. africana</i>. The systematics and distribution of the genus <i>Rhinochimaera</i> are reviewed, a terminology and abbreviationsystem for morphometries presented, and a key to species provided. The separation of <i>R. atlantica</i> and <i>R. pacifica</i> on caudal tubercle counts is provisionally accepted but considered problematical until adequate samples of both species can be critically compared. Proportional measurements and counts of caudal tubercles were highlyvariable in <i>Rhinochimaera</i>, with much allometry in proportions with growth and much individual variation. Selected morphometrics are plotted to show allometric trends in proportions that separate <i>R. africana</i> from other species.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"<i>Rhinochimaera africana</i>, a new longnose chimaera from southern Africa, with comments on the systematics and distribution of the genus <i>Rhinochimaera</i> Garman, 1901 (Chondrichthyes, Chimaeriformes, Rhinochimaeridae)","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:01.897972","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":1990,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-09-12","DateCreate":"2018-09-12","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":301089,"PubliDate":1990,"Pagination":"201-222","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"9","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43929,"SerRR":"South African Journal of Marine Science = Suid-Afrikaanse Tydskrif vir Seewetenskap.
