摘要
Eptatretus acerol, new species, is described from one specimen captured on the upper continental slope in Colombian Caribbean waters at 705 m depth. The species can be distinguished from all congeners by having five gill apertures, 3/2 multicuspid teeth in the outer and inner tooth rows, respectively, an extremely slender body with the depth at the vertical through the pharyngocutaneous aperture 2.4% of the total length, and by having a total of 174 slime pores, the highest count in the genus. The species is compared with the other western Atlantic five-gilled species of Eptatretus.
