Distribution.Commonly considered as being patchily distributed throughout the northern GOM from depths of approximately 185 to 550 m, although NMFS SEFSC trawl surveys have reported this species as shallow as 125 mdepth. First Record in GOM. Bigelow and Schroeder (1962)based their description of this species on two specimens ( holotype USNM 196442, Figure 3, and paratype MCZ40673) collected from the continental slope southwest of the Dry Tortugasaboard the RV Silver Bayin 1959 ( Bullis and Thompson 1965) as well as several additional specimens ( e.g. MCZ39993, 39994, 41154, 41163and 41168) collected from the same general area aboard the RV Oregonin 1955 ( Springer and Bullis 1956).
Remarks.The genus Dipturusis currently under revision and the species from the GOM are of particular interest as little is known of their biology and habits. Conservation Status.Data Deficient
