Notes

Fig. 5

The COI sequences for five specimens ( DL 313, DL 320, DL 321, DL 322, DL 324) matched a reference sequence of V. lucetia ( HQ 010067 View Materials , voucher SIO 09-204) with 100.0 % identity and all other BLAST hits showed <95 % identity. DL 388 was identified through morphology only ( Moser 1996). This mesopelagic Pacific species ( Fricke et al. 2024) has been previously recorded from Clipperton Atoll ( Fourriére et al. 2014) and it is dominant in the larval fish assemblages of the eastern tropical Pacific off Mexico ( León-Chávez et al. 2010). V. lucetia larvae are elongate and slender with ovoid eyes and usually possess a large melanophore ventrally near end of the caudal peduncle ( Moser 1996).
