Abstract
Sand sole, Pegusa lascaris (Risso, 1810), was previously reported in the Tunisian marine waters but no details were provided on its description and capture. Two captures of the species off Kélibia, in the northeastern coast of Tunisia allow us to present the first substantiated records in the this area, including description, morphometric measurements and meristic counts. Comments on the distribution of P.lascaris off the Tunisian coast and the entire Mediterranean are also given.
