martinicus, Smaris Valenciennes [A.] in Cuvier & Valenciennes 1830:424 [Histoire naturelle des poissons v. 6; ref. 996] Martinique Island, West Indies (may be erroneous). Holotype (unique): MNHN 0000-9094. Type catalog: Bauchot 1974:986 [ref. 21548]. Spicara is neuter, so the ending should be martinicum when classified in that genus. No species of Spicara occurring in western Atlantic; possibly based on Mediterranean specimen. •Valid as Spicara martinicus (Valenciennes 1830) -- (Parenti 2019:55 [ref. 36892]). •Uncertain in Sparidae. Sparidae. Habitat: marine.
