Nettastomatidae View in CoL View at ENA

* Facciolella oxyrhyncha (Bellotti, 1883) —Facciola's sorcerer

Ophichthidae

Froese & Pauly (2007) erroneously recorded Echelus myrus (Linnaeus, 1758) from Madeira, allegedly on the basis of Leiby in Quéro et al. (1990: 182), which does not, however, include such a record.

Apterichtus sp.

Record based on a photo taken by P. Wirtz at Caniço de Baixo in 20 m depth, at night (figure 2). A. Brito (personal communication, Oct. 2005) tentatively identified this as Apterichtus anguiformis (Peters, 1877) . A specimen is needed to confirm the identification. New record for Madeira.

* Apterichtus caecus (Linnaeus, 1758) —European finless eel

Record based on MMF 25419 and 33856 and a photo taken by Pedro Gomes at Funchal in 14 m depth, at night (figure 3). New record for Madeira.

Ophisurus serpens (Linnaeus, 1758) —Serpent eel

Considered “very rare” by Maul (1949).
