Paraliparis sp. ( Fig. 2E)

Material examined. - TFMC‑VP /01377, 260 mm TL,

258 mm SL, 15°49’N 22°46’W, S of Ponta do Roque, Boa Vista Island , 502‑592 m, cruise Cabo Verde 2005‑06, sta. 91, 10 Jun. 2005, BT .

Remarks. - Ten species of Paraliparis are known from the North Atlantic Ocean, and one from the Mediterranean. One Atlantic species ( P. copei ) has four recognized subspecies ( Chernova et al., 2004; Chernova and Møller, 2008). Our specimen needs to be compared at least with all the Atlantic species and for the time being we have opted not to assign our specimen to any known species or subspecies. This is the first record of this genus from the Cape Verde Islands.
