RT Journal Article T1 Geographic range expansion and taxonomic notes of the shortfin Neoscopelid Neoscopelus cf. microchir (Myctophiformes: Neoscopelidae) in the North-Eastern Atlantic A1 Bañón Díaz, Rafael A1 De Carlos Villamarin, Alejandro Leonides A1 Acosta Morillas, Víctor A1 Baldó, Francisco K1 2401.14-4 Taxonomía Animal Peces K1 2510.05 Zoología Marina K1 2510.06 Procesos del Fondo Marino AB One specimen of the shortfin neoscopelid Neoscopelus microchir Matsubara, 1943, has been recorded for the first time on the Porcupine Bank, southwestern Ireland, providing a new northern limit of distribution for the eastern Atlantic. Morphometric and meristic parameters confirm the taxonomic identification. However, DNA barcoding shows deficiencies in current taxonomy and the potential occurrence of cryptic species. On this basis, the specimen is cautiously reported as Neosopelus cf. microchir pending a taxonomic revision of the genus.
