Abstract
ONE specimen of long-nosed chimaera taken in 366-549 metres off Timaru is described and provisionally identified as the north Atlantic Harriotta raleighana. The Japanese Anteliochimaera chaetirhamphus and the north-east Pacific H. curtissjamesi are also tentatively referred to H. raleighana. The status of two aberrant Atlantic juveniles, and their similarities to the genus Rhinochimaera, are discussed.Keywords
