Remarks: This is one of at least two Deania species known to occur in Taiwan waters, but the taxonomy of this genus and any associated species in Taiwanese waters requires further research to confirm its identity. Sho Tanaka (Tokai University, pers. comm.) is currently revising this genus. Also, see additional remarks below under D. cf. profundorum account.

Conservation status: Least Concern.
