Remarks: The taxonomic status of Deania species in Taiwanese waters is problematic. Various names, D. aciculata , D. eglantina , and D. rostrata , have been used, but an associated image has not always been provided to confirm which species is being referred to. Shen (1984a) provides an illustration of two Deania species , D. eglantina (= D. cf. calcea ) and D. aciculate (= D. cf. profundorum ), but recent accounts ( Chen & Joung, 1993; Shen & Wu, 2011) includes D. calcea as the only confirmed species to occur in Taiwanese waters. Surveys conducted in April-May 1988 (DAE), May 2005 (DAE, WTW), and in March 2012 (present authors) confirm the occurrence of a second species, D. cf. profundorum , in Taiwan. The status of various nominal Deania species is under investigation by Sho Tanaka (pers. comm.).
