Discussion Te single, relatively large otolith of 8.6 mm in length is very similar in all morphological aspects to the extant P. typus known from Mauritania to Angola (see Schwarzhans, 1993 for figures of extant specimens). Te identification, however, is only tentative because of some abrasion of the anterior otolith rim and in the area of the caudal tip.
