Abstract
The occurrence of Hyperoplus immaculatus (Corbin, 1950) in Portuguese continental waters is reported for the first time. One specimen was collected in November 2017 and 32 specimens in May 2018, all with bottom trawl at depths between 25 and 80 m. Analyses of diagnostic morphological characters confirmed the specimen as H. immaculatus; further validation was obtained by sequencing a 652 bp region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene. The record here described constitutes a new finding for the distribution of H. immaculatus in the southern Northeast Atlantic.
