Grammatostomias dentatus differs from congeners by the luminous tissue on both sides of body forming a distinct line from the operculum to beyond the pelvic-fin base; 5 pectoral-fin rays; PV 15–16 (Morrow, Gibbs, 1964; Sutton et al. , 2020). Geographical distribution. North Atlantic, Indian, and western Pacific oceans (Gibbs, Barnett, 1990; Vinnichenko, 1997; Harold, 2003; Fricke, 2011; Carneiro et al ., 2019; Sutton et al. , 2020). In the western Atlantic the species is reported from off the United States and Bermudas , between 43ºN and 28ºN (Morrow, Gibbs, 1964; Harold, 2003; Moore et al. , 2003; Judkins, Haedrich, 2018). Melo et al . (2020) included G. dentatus in a list of deep-sea fishes of Brazil , without providing information on voucher specimens or locality data. Previously known records of the species in the South Atlantic are actually outside the Brazilian EEZ (ISH 1364-1968; ISH 762-1966). Therefore, the occurrence of G. dentatus is confirmed in Brazilian waters based on one specimen collected off Pernambuco State , at depths between 45 and 200 m ( Fig. 14D ). Specimen examined. 1: NPM 3184, 1 ( 114 mm ), AB1#51.
