| Summary: | Morphometric proportions and biological data (feeding, spawning, parasites) are presented for Synaphobranchus calvus Melo, 2007 (Actinopterygii: Synaphobranchidae) based on 18 specimens (total length varying between 359,0 mm and 680,0 mm) collected off Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil (Western South Atlantic Ocean) between 1,040 m and 1,340 m of depth. The feeding diet of S. calvus is composed mainly of fish and invertebrates, and with the present report the maximum size of this species is increased to 680.0 mm in total length.
