Remarks
This species is only known from its holotype, a small left otolith, which was tentatively attributed to an ophichthid by Nolf (1985). The otolith mentioned as “genus Congridarum ” aff. brevior by Müller (1999: 82, fig. 21/7) shows a different pattern from ophichthid otoliths and probably belongs to a congrid.
