Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 f

Nettenchelys erroriensis Karmovskaya 1994:409 View in CoL , unnumbered figure (northwestern Indian Ocean, Error Seamount, 10°19’N, 56°10’E, depth 395–420 m). Holotype. ZMMU-19251 (female, 335 mm).

Material. Known only from the holotype.

Diagnosis. Anterior vomerine teeth not uniserial; posterior nostril behind head, near dorsal-fin origin, approximately over eighth LL pore; median ST pore absent. See Table 1 View TABLE 1 for additional characters.

Distribution. Known from Error Seamount in the western Arabian Sea.

Remarks. This species is well distinguished from Nettenchelys taylori , the other species known from the Arabian Sea, by the position of the posterior nostril. It apparently is not the adult of Leptocephalus bellottii from the Red Sea, as pointed out by Karmovskaya (1994:125, English translation version).
