Zusammenfassung:Centrodraco nigrocentonis sp. n. from the Southeast Pacific is described. The new species differs from all members of the family Draconettidae in the presence of cutaneous flaps on the sides of the body. In combination of other characters it appears to be the closest to C. acanthopoma from the North Atlantic, C. atrifilum from the waters of Eastern Australia, and C. nakaboi from the seamounts of the Pacific Ocean. The new species is possibly a dwarf form, like C. atrifilum .
