Description

Hippocampus algiricus Kaup, 1856

Material examined. - TFMC‑VP /01858, 73.6 mm SL, 15.7 mm HL, 15°02’N‑ 23°45’W, Ponta Covinha, Santiago Island, 175‑274 m, cruise Cabo Verde 2005‑06, sta. 200/202, 15 Jun. 2005, BT.

Remarks. - A tropical benthic eastern-central Atlantic species found from Senegal to Angola, including São Tomé and Príncipe Islands (Lourie et al., 1999; Froese and Pauly, 2014). According to Wirtz et al. (2013), this species was previously recorded from the Cape Verdes by Reiner (1996, 2005) and Brito et al. (1999) as H. punctulatus, and by González and Tariche (2009) as H. hippocampus. It inhabits shallow inshore waters (Reiner, 1996, 2005). The present material was caught at between 175 m and 274 m depth, which enlarges considerably its vertical distribution in more than 150 m. The specimen examined has 19 dorsal rays, 13 pectoral rays, and 12+35 rings. The presence of this species is confirmed in waters of this archipelago.
