The paralepidid species Lestidiops distans (Ege, 1953) is redescribed on the basis of adult specimens collected from the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Observations on the holotype, a detailed description, and full data of the adults are provided. The complete lateral line running to the caudal fin base found in L. distans is a rare condition, with only some species in the family possessing this character. The distribution range of L. distans, from Senegal (14°N) to Namibia (22°S) along the coastline of the eastern Atlantic Ocean, is revised accordingly. Comments on a congener, Lestidiops cadenati (Maul, 1962), that co-occurs in the western Atlantic are provided.
基于从东大西洋采集的成体标本,重新描述了 Paralepidid 属的 Lestidiops distans (Ege, 1953)。提供了对模式标本的观察、详细描述和成虫的完整数据。在 L. distans 中发现的完整侧线一直延伸到尾鳍基部是一种罕见的情况,只有一些科的物种具有这种特征。L. distans 的分布范围从塞内加尔(北纬 14°)到纳米比亚(南纬 22°),沿东大西洋海岸线,相应地进行了修订。对在西大西洋共同存在的近缘种 Lestidiops cadenati (Maul, 1962) 提供了评论。
