Examination of the present 18 Neobythites specimens showed three different ocellus-patterns: one specimen with one ocellus in the dorsal and none in the anal fin (= N. monocellatus), 12 specimens with two ocelli in the dorsal fin (= the holotype of N. ocellatus caught at 9°5’S, 34°50’W) and five specimens with 3–5 ocelli in the dorsal and 2–4 in the anal fin (= the 308 specimens of N. ocellatus caught in the Caribbean Sea and further north [see Nielsen 1999, fig. 10]). This indicates that the typical N. ocellatus specimens are restricted to the continental slope off mid-Brazil and that the five specimens with more ocelli are similar to the 308 more northerly caught specimens. A manuscript dealing with the West Atlantic ocellus-bearing Neobythites species is under preparation.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D987B81469221123B2FBFD0C686E29	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
