One adult specimen (OL=3.73, OH= 2.45 mm) is available that resembles recent otoliths of Parascombrops serratospinsus , which is encountered in the West Pacific seas ( Schwarzhans & Prokofiev, 2017). However, the shape of our specimen is less compressed. A similar variation in compactness is also observed in Parascombrops aff . mutinensis (Bassoli, 1906) otoliths known in large numbers from the Mediterranean Pliocene, but on average these latter otoliths are also more compressed and have a more rounded dorsal rim. More specimens are needed for a definitive species identification.
