Abstract(s)

São registadas pela primeira vez para os Açores cinco espécies de peixes: Cookeolus japonicus, Parophidion vassali, Scorpaenodes arenai, Canthigaster rostrata e Antennarius senegalensis. O scorpaenídeo Scorpaenodes arenai Torchio, 1962, anteriormente conhecido apenas do Estreito de Messina, é redescrito com base em seis exemplares dos Açores. A ocorrência em águas açoreanas de Zenopsis conchifer, Elagatis bipinnulata, Lepidocybium flavobrunneum, Acanthocybium solandri, Stephanolepis hispidus e Chaunax pictus é confirmada.

ABSTRACT: Five new records of fishes from the Azores are reported: Cookeolus japonicus, Parophidion vassali, Scorpaenodes arenai. Canthigaster rostrata, and Antennarius senegalensis. The scorpaenid fish Scorpaenodes arenai Torchio, 1962, previously known only from the Strait of Messina, is redescribed, based on examination of 6 specimens from the Azores and one of the paratypes. The occurrence of Zenopsis conchifer, Elagatis bipinnulata. Lepidocybium flavobrunneum, Acanthocybium solandri, Stephanolepis hispidus, and Chaunax pictus in Azorian waters is confirmed.
