| Abstract |
Two larval Symphysanodon, collected off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, southern Brazil (at 22°32’50.0” S, 040°04’09.0” W), beyond the 1,000 m isobath, are the first specimens of the monotypic family Symphysanodontidae to be reported from the western South Atlantic Ocean. We are unable to assign the larvae to a described species and entertain the idea that the Brazilian material may represent an undescribed species. |
