Eptatretus Caribbeaus: A New Species of Hagfish (Myxinidae) from the Caribbean
In a continuing revision of the genus Eptatretus from the western Atlantic five specimens from the continental slope (365 to 500 m) of the western Caribbean represent a new species, described herein as Eptatretus caribbeaus. This seven-gilled species is compared with its
Atlantic congeners as well as with Eptatretus cirrhatus, the only previously named seven-gilled species of Eptatretus, for which some new data are given.
