Sigmops bathyphilus
Sigmops bathyphilus (Vaillant, 1884) (Fig. 4D) Diagnosis. Sigmops bathyphilus can be distinguished from congeners by the presence of adipose fin; anal-fin origin in line with dorsal-fin origin; 10–14 pectoral-fin rays; 11–15 dorsal-fin rays; 7–9 pelvic-fin rays; 21–26 anal-fin rays; 28–32 gill raker...

| Summary: | Sigmops bathyphilus (Vaillant, 1884) (Fig. 4D) Diagnosis. Sigmops bathyphilus can be distinguished from congeners by the presence of adipose fin; anal-fin origin in line with dorsal-fin origin; 10–14 pectoral-fin rays; 11–15 dorsal-fin rays; 7–9 pelvic-fin rays; 21–26 anal-fin rays; 28–32 gill rakers; no photophores on isthmus; two rows (lateral and ventral) of minute and obscure photophores; IC 32–38; OA 14–16, in an irregular row (Grey, 1964; Mukhacheva, 1972; Kenaley, Stewart, 2015c; Coad, 2018a). Geographical distribution. Circumglobal between 70ºN and 45ºS, except the western Indian Ocean (Grey, 1964; Schaefer et al ., 1986a; Pequeño, 1989; Hutchins, 2001; Møller et al ., 2010; Kenaley, Stewart, 2015c; Béarez et al ., 2017; Sutton et al. , 2020). In the western Atlantic, the species is reported from off Greenland, Canada, United States, the Bermudas and the Caribbean Sea, and off Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil (Mukhacheva, 1972; Grey, 1964; Harold, 2003; Moore et al ., 2003; Costa, Mincarone, 2010; Møller et al ., 2010; Judkins, Haedrich, 2018). Here we report on one specimen of S. bathyphilus collected off Rio Grande do Norte State, near the seamounts of the region, between depths of 700 and 1,113 m (Fig. 3C). Specimen examined. 1: NPM 4764, 1 (155 mm), AB2#59A.
