Symphysanodontidae (Slopefishes)
Etymology: Symphysanodon: Greek, syn, symphysis = grown together + Greek, physis = growth body form + Greek, odous = teeth; related to few teeth which are located over the area where the two jaws meet (Ref. 45335); rhax: Name rhax (berry or grape) is from the Greek and is an allusion to the similarity of this new species to S. berryi. The new name is a feminine noun in apposition to Symphysanodon.

Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 9; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 10; Anale stekels: 3; Anale zachte stralen: 7; Wervels: 25. This species is separable from all other species of the genus, except S. berryi, by the following combination of characters: segmented rays in anal fin 7, tubed lateral-line scales 50, total gillrakers on first gill arch 35-38 (10 or 11 + 25-27), sum of lateral-line scales and gillrakers on individual specimens 85-88, depth of body 20.6-24.8% SL (4.0-4.9 times in SL), length of depressed anal fin 21.8-23.9 % SL, length of anal-fin base 12.6-14.8% SL, length of first anal-fin spine 3.0-4.8% SL, hypurals 1 & 2 autogenous, hypurals 3 & 4 represented by a single plate, and first caudal vertebra without parapophyses. It can be separated from the Atlantic species S. berryi by a number of morphometric characters. It also differs slightly from S. berryi in counts of pectoral-fin rays (17 or18, mean = 17.33, for S. rhax
vs. 16-18, mean = 16.99, for S. berryi).
Depth of capture, 218 m, is available for only one collection.
