mitsukurii, Chimaera Dean [B.] 1904:6, Pl. 1 (figs. 1-2) [Journal of the College of Science. Imperial University, Tokyo v. 19 (no. 3); ref. 15183] Misaki, Sagami Sea, Japan. Holotype: ZUMT 1457.

Dean's Chimaera mitsukurii is therefore objectively invalid, preoccupied by Chimaera mitsukurii Jordan & Snyder 1904, and presumably also a junior synonym.
