Sa. Mandrytsa, RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH CRUISES OF FRV WALTHER-HERWIG TO SOUTH-AMERICA .70. NEW RECORDS OF 2 RARE SCORPIONFISHES, IDIASTION-KYPHOS ESCHMEYER, 1965 AND PHENACOSCORPIUS-NEBRIS ESCHMEYER, 1965 (PISCES, SCORPAENIDAE), FROM OFF SOUTH BRAZIL, Archiv fur Fischereiwissenschaft, 41(3), 1993, pp. 197-201
New data on the morphology and distribution of two rare scorpaenid spe
cies, Idiastion kyphos and Phenacoscorpius nebris, are given, based on
one and three new records, respectively, from off southern Brazil. Th
ese Brazilian specimens agree well morphologically with the few of eac
h species previously described from other Atlantic areas and extend th
e Western Atlantic distributional area of both considerably southward.
