A reconciled dispersal-vicariance analysis (DIVA; upper) and a simple parsimonious reconstruction (lower) inference of past ranges at the subfamilial level superimposed over divergence time estimates. Open rectangular bars stand for 95% confidence ranges of the divergence time estimates. The scale bar at the bottom represents the geological time scale according to Gradstein, Ogg & Smith (2004). Maps drawn from Smith, Smith & Funnel (1994) indicate onset (220 Mya) and completion (160 Mya) of the Pangaean breakup, and separation of the Indian land mass from Africa (130 Mya), which allowed marine permeation. Arrowheads indicate rifting margins; hatched pattern indicates area of black shale deposits (Olsen, 1997).

If the smallest hamming distance is larger than 3, such sequences are ignored because existence of indels or many mutations is assumed in primer-match regions. For those ignored sequences, manual extraction needs to be conducted afterwards

An individual of the new species has also been photographed off Izu Peninsula, Japan. The species is characterized by XII, 8 dorsal-fin rays, II, 6 anal-fin rays, 13 pectoral-fin rays, 7 segmented lower caudal-fin rays, 26 vertebrae, an interneural space between the 7th and 8th vertebrae lacking dorsal-fin spine proximal pterygiophores, the 1st–4th dorsal-fin spines situated anterior to the 3rd neural spine, 5 preopercular spines, vomerine teeth absent, the 2nd mandibular pore on each side fused, and the head, body and fins somewhat orange when fresh (preserved condition creamy-white), and with numerous small scattered brownish blotches and streaks.
