Comments: All specimens were collected by bottom trawls with non-closing openings and was quite abundant in catches, contrary to the single specimens of the mesopelagic <i>D. kuroshio</i> and <i>D. metopoclampus</i> in the same hauls, indicating that the new species can be associated with the seamounts and may have a benthopelagic mode of life. The larger absolute size in comparison with its closest relative and possible ancestor (D. kuroshio) supports this assumption (Ref. 125672).
