Range extension and first records of Coryphaenoides striaturus Barnard, 1925 and Coryphaenoides subserrulatus Makushok, 1976 (Macrouridae: Gadiformes) in Brazilian waters, Southwest Atlantic, using integrative taxonomy

Coryphaenoides Gunnerus, 1765 comprises 66 valid species of deep-sea fishes commonly known as grenadiers, with 6 previously reported from Brazilian waters. Here, we make the first records for Coryphaenoides striaturus and Coryphaenoides subserrulatus on the Brazilian continental slope. Both species are distributed in the subtropical regions of the Southern Hemisphere, and the former is being reported for the first time in the Southwest Atlantic, and the latter has its distribution range extended northward. The identifications were confirmed by a unique combination of morphological characters and DNA barcoding using the cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene.
