Discussion Otoliths of S. kleinii are recognized by their compressed shaped (OL:OH = 1.1–1.15) in combination with somewhat undulating otolith rims and a pointed postdorsal projection. Synapturichthys kleinii is the only species of the genus occurring today in the Mediterranean and along the East Atlantic coast to South Africa into the western Indian Ocean to off Durban.
