| Abstract |
Two fossil flatfish specimens discovered in laminated diatomites of the Mediterranean Basin are herein re-examined and described. They belong to the single species Arnoglossus sauvagei (Capellini, 1878) (Bothidae, Pleuronectiformes). The latter’s affinities with extinct and extant species of the genus Arnoglossus living in the Mediterranean Sea are discussed |
