Remarks:
Unknown specimen of
Poecilopsetta
sp. (
Fig. 26
) is mistakenly presented as the photograph of the
holotype
in the original paper. Its appearance differs considerably from that of the
holotype
and the
paratypes
of
Poecilopsetta normani
inventoried and curated in ZIN (
Fig. 25
). In particular, there is no dark colour on the pectoral fin of the eyed side in
Poecilopsetta
sp. Moreover, the length of this specimen is
127 mm
SL according to the scale bar and to the comment on the back side of the original photograph. This reported length is much larger than the length of the
holotype
(
95 mm
SL) indicated in the text and the table presented in the original description. Length, morphometrics and counts of actual
holotype
are the same as those in the text of the original description (
Table 2
) suggesting a mistake in the photograph only, but not in the description of the
holotype
. The specimen of
Poecilopsetta
sp. (
Fig. 26
) is not found in the ZIN collection. One
paratype
specimen from ZIN 49133 was sent to the MNHN (MNHN 2019-0041)
