Zusammenfassung: | The rare chirostylid Gastroptychus formosus, until now known only from the eastern Atlantic, is reported for the first time from the western Atlantic, indicating a boreal circum-Atlantic distribution. This record also represents the first occurrence mentioned of any chirostylid in Canadian Pacific or Atlantic waters. The find was at a shallower depth than any previous occurrences for this species. The specimen has been deposited at the Atlantic Reference Centre, Huntsman Marine Science Centre, St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada. /// Un ejemplar del chirostilido Gastroptychus formosus, hasta ahora solamente citado en el Atlántico nororiental, fue capturado por primera vez en las costas atlánticas del Canadá lo que indica una distribución circumboreal atlántica de la especie. Este cita representa asimismo la primera aparición de un chirostilido en aguas del Canada. El ejemplar fue capturado a menos profundidad que en anteriores ocasiones. El ejemplar a sido depositado en el Atlantic Reference Centre, Huntsman Marine Science Centre, St. Andrews. New Brunswick, Canadá. |
