Gnathophis sp.

(Fig. 2 G)

Material examined. One specimen, 277.0 mm TL: MNHN 1989-351 (1, 277.0 mm), MD, 62 CB 103.

Remarks. Gnathophis sp. is known only from a single specimen identified earlier by Séret and Andreata (1992) as Gnathophis sp. aff. mystax (Delaroche 1809) . The number and pattern of lateral line pores are similar to Gnathophis bathytopos, with the second and the seventh to 13th pores elevated and a total of 39 pores to anal-fin origin, but it differs from G. bathytopos by having a pale stomach, and may represent an undescribed species (Smith pers. comm. 2005).
