Lepidotrigla dieuzeidei Blanc & Hureau, 1973

Three Spiny gurnard, Triglidae ( Fig. 4F ), were collected on 24 and 27 Oct. 2018 during the EVHOE survey, using a bottom trawl. They were collected at Station W 0546 and W0567, at 45.2824 / 45.2617 °N, –2.7856 / –2.7557 °E ,

at 131.3/ 133.4 m depth and at 44.2115 / 44.2394 °N, –1.8612 / – 1.8795 °E, at 127.6/ 129.9 m depth, respectively, (central Bay of Biscay, France). The fresh specimen measured 125, 132 and 147 mm TL and were unpreserved. Recorded by S.P. Iglésias. The species was recorded for the first time in Galician waters in 2002 by Bañón (2004) and in the Bay of Biscay in 2013, then in 2015 (Iglésias, unpubl.) where the species can now be considered established. Before the description of L. dieuzeidei in 1973, Beltrémieux (1864, 1884) and Lemarié (1866) reported, with the synonym name Trigla aspera , the presence of the closely related species Lepidotrigla cavillone (Lacepède, 1801) in the Bay of Biscay. Later Quéro et al. (1996) recorded once more L. cavillone in the Bay of Biscay, however L. dieuzeidei was never recorded in the area. If the presence of L. cavillone is not confirmed in the Bay of Biscay in the next years, the previous records of this species in the area could be viewed as misidentifications of L. dieuzeidei by earlier authors.
