Ariosoma balearicum
notes: label: Notes
content: This catalog no. originally given to a uropterygius necturus from cape san lucas, baja california, mexico. specimen was apparently discarded, because entry crossed out in ledger and replaced by "conger conger" and "europe". this new entry contained 2 species, conger and ariosoma; the conger removed to usnm 179710. two handwritten labels in jar: one an identification as ariosoma gilberti, an eastern pacific species, by hildebrand, presumably because of the supposed cape san lucas locality; other says "ariosoma flavirostris" on one side and "locality w. pacific" on the other. best guess is that both specimens are from europe and the species is ariosoma balearicum.
