Atlantic occurrence of the genus Bellottia (Teleostei, Bythitidae) with two new species from the Western North Atlantic
Thirteen specimens of the bythitid fish-genus Bellottia have been reported from the Western North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. A comparison with the three known species, B. apoda Giglioli, 1883 from the East Atlantic and the Mediterranean, B. armiger (Smith & Radcliffe, 1913) from the Philippine...
