Diplecogaster euxinica Murgoci, 1964

A native marine species, found near Sulina in 1948 ( Bănărescu 1964; Oțel 2007; [both as D. bimaculata euxinica ]; Vasil’eva 2007 [as D. bimaculata (Bonnaterre, 1788) ]; Yankova et al. 2014 [as D.bimaculata bimaculata (Bonnaterre, 1788) ]; Cocan & MireȘan 2018). Also claimed to have been recorded sometimes between 1952-1998 in the 2 Mai-Vama Veche Marine Reserve area (or the southern Romanian Black Sea waters) but to have probably gone extinct by 2001-2003 ( Nicolaev et al. 2004 [as D. bimaculata euxinica ]).
