Diceratiidae (Double anglers (Ref. 07463) or Doublespine Seadevils (Ref. 86949))
Etymology: Diceratias: Greek, di = two, double + Greek, keras or keratos = horn, horned (referring to the two conspicuous dorsal-fin spines in the larvae and young females) (Ref. 86949); pileatus: From the Latin pileatus meaning capped, referring to the terminal papilla of the esca (Ref. 39830).

Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 5 - 7; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 4. Distinguishing characteristics of metamorphosed female: relatively small esca, width about equal to length; conspicuous bulbous posteriorly oriented terminal escal papilla; absence of posterior and anterior escal appendages; escal pore at posterobasal margin of terminal papilla; teeth in lower jaw 25-65, upper jaw with 27-82 teeth; vomerine teeth 4-14 (Ref. 86949).
Found near or on continental shelf, old specimens probably benthic (Ref. 6939). Bentho-, meso- and bathypelagic (Ref. 58302).
