Naked dragonfishes Gymnodraco acuticeps and G. victori (Bathydraconidae, Notothenioidei) off Terre Adélie are a single species
International audience axonomists have generally considered the two bathydraconid species Gymnodraco acuticeps Boulenger, 1902 and Gymnodraco victori Hureau, 1963 as synonymous based on field experience or from personal communications. However, no study has been devoted to that question and here we...
