The records of Sphoeroides cutaneus (Gunther, 1870) (Pisces, Tetraodontidae) in the Adriatic Sea

The species Sphoeroides cutaneus was recorded from three localities in the eastern middle Adriatic in 1992. Nine specimens were found in trawl catches, on which four of 101-213 mm total length were analysed. Trawel catches originate from muddy bottoms betveen 120 and 150 m depth. These are the first documented records of this species in the Adriatic. Thus, the Adriatic ichthyofauna has been added not only a new species but also a new genre and a new family.
