Trachinus sp.

Material examined. ‑ MMF 42285, 119 mm TL, 101 mm SL, 15°55’N‑ 22°56’W, Ponta Lacacão, Boa Vista Island , 122‑137 m, cruise Camarão‑2, sta. 15, rocky bottom with sand, 7 Mar. 2012, BT GoogleMaps .

Remarks. - Body proportions, meristics and colour pattern do not match with descriptions of any of the known Trachinus species occurring in waters of the Cape Verde Islands and adjacent seas. Although this specimen seems to be close to Trachinus pellegrini Cadenat, 1937 , it may belong to a still undescribed species and an in-depth taxonomical and genetic study is being done, the results of which will be published elsewhere.
