This study combined morphological and molecular approaches to the species assignment of several rare or poorly known deep-water fishes caught between 549 and 1371 m depth during a Spanish bottom trawl survey in the Porcupine Bank, west of Ireland. The following fish species were identified: Nessorhamphus ingolfianus (Schmidt, 1912), Borostomias antarcticus (Lönnberg 1905), Scopelosaurus lepidus (Krefft and Maul 1955), Bathypterois dubius Vaillant, 1888, Evermannella balbo (Risso, 1820), Antimora rostrata (Günther, 1878), Melanonus zugmayeri Norman, 1930, Lyconus brachycolus Holt and Byrne, 1906, Paraliparis hystrix Merrett, 1983, Neocyttus helgae (Holt and Byrne, 1908), Platyberyx opalescens Zugmayer, 1911, Howella atlantica Post and Quéro, 1991, Lycodes terraenovae Collett, 1896 and Pseudoscopelus altipinnis Parr, 1933. The presence of L. brachycolus, P. opalescens and P. altipinnis is reported for the first time in the Bank. The DNA barcoding results were largely consistent with morphological identification in 10 species but four did not fit the current taxonomy, indicating cases of potential cryptic speciation, misidentification, synonymy or recent diversification. Among them, the results strongly suggest that P. garmani and P. hystrix are conspecific, making P. hystrix a junior synonym of P. garmani.

□ Howella sherborni (Norman, 1930) – No common name; ②③ This species occurs off the Azores, in the PECS area (72 NM southwest of the Albany Seamount)., Published as part of Carneiro, Miguel, Martins, Rogélia, Landi, Monica & Costa, Filipe O., 2014, Updated checklist of marine fishes (Chordata: Craniata) from Portugal and the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf, pp. 1-73 in European Journal of Taxonomy 73 on page 48, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2014.73, http://zenodo.org/record/3866515

Howella atlantica Post & Quéro, 1991 - No common name; ①②③ Post & Quéro (1991) reviewed the species Howella brodiei Ogilby, 1899, and demonstrated the existence of two subspecies: H. brodiei atlantica (Post & Quéro, 1991) from the North and tropical Atlantic and H. brodiei brodiei Ogilby, 1899 from the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The authors also showed that the number of scales between the origin of the second dorsal fin and the lateral line separates the Atlantic populations of Howella into two different species: Howella brodiei atlantica and Howella sherborni (Norman, 1930). Eschmeyer (2013) raised the subspecies Howella brodiei atlantica (Post & Quéro, 1991) to species level: Howella atlantica (Post & Quéro, 1991). The records of H. brodiei in the northeast Atlantic should probably be considered as belonging to H. atlantica., Published as part of Carneiro, Miguel, Martins, Rogélia, Landi, Monica & Costa, Filipe O., 2014, Updated checklist of marine fishes (Chordata: Craniata) from Portugal and the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf, pp. 1-73 in European Journal of Taxonomy 73 on page 48, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2014.73, http://zenodo.org/record/3866515, {"references":["Post A. & Quero J. - C. 1991.
