description
Several MZUSP specimens are damaged or not well preserved, but 12 were selected as in fair to good condition to be examined. The diameter of the eye was not considered by us as a useful parameter, as the variation in our specimens is much larger and does not agree at all with that of Mead (1972), probably because of the conditions of most of the old specimens; the same was found for the number of rays of the dorsal, pectoral and anal fins, the number of vertebrae and the actual size of the longest anal fin ray. On the other hand, the proportion of the longest dorsal fin ray in standard length showed a very conclusive difference (TABLE 4; FIG 11). Even so, two specimens could belong to either species (or even to a hybrid) as their measurements are intermediary between the two species (when the size is examined and compared with figure 48 of Mead (1972 )). This latter figure is a graph displaying the “ Relative height of (A) dorsal and (B) anal fin in young and adult Pterycombus brama and Pterycombus petersii ”, and clearly shows a degree of overlap in certain size classes (30 mm, for example). No adult of any Pterycombus species was ever documented to date in Brazilian waters. The presence of an undescribed species in the southern Atlantic, a possibility raised by Mead (1972), remains to be confirmed. With the present paper, the number of Southwestern Atlantic Bramidae species increased from seven to ten, one of the largest in the world and, to date, the only with both species of Pterycombus.
