	abstract = "A new species of chimaeroid, <I>Chimaera opalescens</I> n. sp., was described from 31 type specimens caught in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean at 950-1400 m depth. This species differed from all its congeners by the combination of the following characters: body uniformly pale brown to bronze, iridescent on fresh specimens; unpaired fins brown to purple, uniformly coloured or with pale or whitish edges; iris black; claspers tripartite and divided for a third of their length, not extending beyond the pelvic fins in adults; dorsal spine equal to or shorter than first dorsal fin; ventral caudal lobe equal to or deeper than dorsal caudal lobe. Comparison of DNA sequences of the <I>CO1</I> gene with those of related species supported <I>C. opalescens</I> n. sp. as a distinct species. Specimens of <I>C. opalescens</I> n. sp. were previously misidentified as <I>Chimaera monstrosa</I>, a species sharing a similar geographical distribution. <I>Chimaera opalescens</I> n. sp. lives in deeper water and is a larger-bodied species than <I>C. monstrosa.</I> The two species were newly exploited by deep-sea fisheries and confused under a single landing name.",
