Two specimens of this Liparidae were collected on 22 June 2017 during the survey MEDITS on the Research Vessel Europe from Ifremer institute, using a bottom trawl. They were collected in the Gulf of Lion (Mediterranean Sea, France), at Operation No. 78, at 42.349 / 42.320 °N, 4.128 / 4.118°E, at 748-917 m depth, water temperature was 13.27-13.39°C and salinity was 38.04-38.33‰ on the bottom. The first specimen was 68 mm TL ( Fig. 2J View Figure 2 ) and the second specimen was 56 mm TL, 52 mm SL, head 12 mm long. The specimen was preserved with the collection No. MNHN-IC 2019-0099 and tissue samples were preserved under No. BPS-3975 and 3974, respectively. Recorded by LM. The species known only in the western Mediterranean is very uncommonly recorded and it is here a first record for the Gulf of Lion. 68 mm TL is possibly the largest known size for the species GoogleMaps .
