Material 26 specimens, Dar bel Hamri, Zanclean (figured specimens SMF PO 101.264 ) .

Discussion Large specimens of P. bogaraveo are characterized by a slender shape, rough crenulation of the dorsal rim, and a distinctive twist of the otolith along the long axis ( Fig. 26g View Fig 2 View Fig ). Te rostrum is sometimes bent downward at its tip ( Fig. 26h View Fig ). However, otoliths of P. bogaraveo show a pronounced ontogenetic allometry, and smaller specimens are sometimes difficult to distinguish from other Pagellus species, notably P. erythrinus . A large ontogenetic series of extant otoliths is depicted by Lombarte et al. (2006). Today, P. bogaraveo is distributed from Norway to Mauritania and in the western Mediterranean ( Froese & Pauly, 2022).
