Atherinidae

Description

Atherinidae

Atherina boyeri Risso, 1810 —Big-scale sand smelt

The species is easily confused with A. presbyter. The sample ZMH 13570 (4 specimens, Funchal, Madeira, d'Abreu Nunes, 4 June 1930), originally identified as A. boyeri, was re-identified by us as A. presbyter. The presence of A. boyeri at Madeira appears very doubtful.

* Atherina hepsetus Linnaeus, 1758 —Mediterranean sand smelt

* Atherina presbyter Cuvier, 1829 —Sand smelt
