Pristipomoides freemani Anderson 1966 
Only two specimens of the yelloweye wenchman have been collected 
along the continental shelf of North America. The first specimen (GMBL 
78-145, 85.7 mm SL) was collected by trawl off the east coast of 
Florida at 28°58.4'N, 80°04.4AV in 121-113 m on 18 September 1978 
(R/V Dolphin DP 78-07) (W. D. Anderson, Jr., Grice Marine Biology 
Laboratory, personal communication). The second P. freemani (GMBL 
82-197, 82 mm SL) was collected by trawl at the same North Carolina 
station as the previously discussed C. fuscula (33°16'N, 77°13'W, 
R/V Delaware II 82-04, station 153) at a depth of 99 m on 9 July 
1982. Additionally, Leis and Lee (1994) reported a single larva from 
off the Florida Keys questionably attributed to this species. The yellow- 
eye wenchman was previously known from Uruguay to Panama and 
Barbados (Anderson 1966, 1972; Matsuura 1983) and off Bermuda 
(60.3 mm SL; 32°09'N, 64°1UW; 24 August 1971; W. D. Anderson, 
Jr., personal communication). 
Pleuronectidae 
Poecilopsetta beani (Goode 1881) 
This small flounder, called deep-water dab or offshore flounder 
(Bigelow and Schroeder 1953, Potts and Ramsey 1987), has been reported 
from water >200 m deep along the United States continental slope 
from off New York through the northern Gulf of Mexico to Campeche 
(Goode and Bean 1896, Tyler 1960). Its distribution south of Mexico 
has been inconsistently reported: from off northern Colombia and St. 
Kitts, Lesser Antilles (Goode and Bean 1896), possibly to the greater 
Antilles (Tyler 1960), and from off northern Brazil (Topp and Hoff 
1972). In addition to the southernmost Brazilian record, Bullis and 
Thompson (1965) list several collections from deep water along the 
Central American coast. We have two records of P. beani from off 
North Carolina collected by trawl during the same cruise (Delaware 
II 83-05). The first specimen (UF 39809, 18 mm SL) represents the 
first report of this species shallower than 200 m and was collected 
at 34°07'N, 76°09'W in 155 m (station 323) on 16 May 1983. The 
second specimen (UF 39891, 56 mm SL) was collected at 34°36'N, 
75°39'W in 227 m (station 315) on 16 May 1983. Two larval specimens 
(MCZ 78481 and 78491, Poecilopsetta sp.), probably P. beani , have 
also been collected off North Carolina. This species was not included 
in the most recent American Fisheries Society list of common and 
scientific names of North American fishes (Robins et al. 1991), but
