15059337FFBFFF059ADEFF51FDBFFC9E.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Collected from off Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, at depths from 182 to 616 m; one specimen collected at 1645 – 1762 m is understood as an accidental catch during net transition since this is a well known shallow water species (Cohen et al. 1990). Urophycis mystacea was described from off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and is generally regarded as the species from southern Brazil to Argentina. Cousseau (1993) suggest that U. mystacea is a junior synonym of U. cirrata (Goode & Bean 1896), which currently regarded as the species from Florida, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and Venezuela to off the mouth of the Orinoco River (Cohen et al. 1990; Menezes 2003 b).	en	Melo, Marcelo R.

15059337FFBEFF049ADEFEB1FDBBFBCE.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Collected from off Bahia, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, at depths from 379 to 801 m. Coelorinchus aff. carminatus belongs to a species complex of five species, sometimes treated as subspecies of Coelorinchus caelorinchus (Risso 1810): C. caelorinchus; C. carminatus (Goode 1880); C. geronimo Marshall and Iwamoto 1973; C. marinii Hubbs 1934; and C. polli Marshall and Iwamoto 1973 (T. Iwamoto, pers. comm. 2008). The shape of the snout plate is similar to what is described for C. carminatus; however, the pattern of spinules on the scales differs from specimens from North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. The type locality of C. carminatus is off New York, USA (40 ° 02 ’ 54 ” N, 70 ° 23 ’ 40 ” W), but holotype is lost (USNM 26001; D. Smith, person. comm., 2009). Further comparisons between our material and specimens obtained from the western and central North Atlantic are being made by the senior author. This species has probably been reported from Brazil and Argentina as C. carminatus (Uyeno 1983; Séret & Andreata 1992; Cousseau 1993; Menezes & Figueiredo 2003 a).	en	Melo, Marcelo R.

Günther (1887: 144) restricted its distribution to Brazil, reallocating the other specimens to Macrurus liocephalus Günther, 1887, and Marshall (1973 b) designated the lectotype (Eschmeyer 2010).	en	Melo, Marcelo R.

15059337FFB1FF0B9ADEFD2CFE35FAE6.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Coryphaenoides leptolepis is being reported from a badly preserved specimen with a broken tail, body scales lacking, and the opercular region mostly destroyed on both sides. Comparison between our specimen and data available in literature (Günther 1887; Marshall 1973 b; Cohen et al. 1990) indicated a few meristic differences: pelvic-fin rays 7 (vs. 9), first dorsal-fin rays 11 (vs. 10), and length of pelvic-fin filament 60 % in head length (vs. 96 %). Our specimen, however, agrees with the illustration provided by Günther (1887, plate XXXI) by having the snout naked with enlarged pores. Divergence in the number of pelvic-fin rays suggests that this can be a different species from C. leptolepis, but more specimens are needed for a conclusive identification.	en	Melo, Marcelo R.

Coryphaenoides rudis can be distinguished from C. longicirrhus by the mandibulary teeth in two or more rows (vs. mandibulary teeth in a single row).	en	Melo, Marcelo R.
