South Africa voucher material: Acanthidium natalense: Syntypes: SAIAB [former RUSI] 2 (2 specimens). Deania profundorum [non-types]: SAIAB 26274, SAIAB 26275, SAIAB 26276, SAIAB 26277, SAIAB 26308, SAIAB 26335, SAIAB 26336, SAIAB 26436.
South Africa distribution: Off the west coast (NC) and east coast (KZN). This species likely occurs off the entire South African coast along the upper continental slope.
Remarks: The most common Deania species after D. calceus; both species are frequently caught mixed in large aggregations during research survey cruises.
Conservation status: NT (2020).
