Description
* □ Macroramphosus scolopax (Linnaeus, 1758)
– Longspine snipefish; Trombeteiro ①②③, Peixetrombeteiro ②
Robalo et al. (2009) suggested that the genus Macroramphosus is represented by a single species in the northeastern Atlantic, M. scolopax, with different morphotypes interbreeding off the central and southwestern Portuguese coast. Dyer & Westneat (2010) indicated the distribution of the species M. gracilis as being the western Central Atlantic and this species seems to be sympatric with M. scolopax, all around the world.
