Abstract

A fish from the Balistidae family was collected off Michoacán, Mexico. The fish was identified as Sufflamenfraenatum (Balistidae) based on its taxonomic and genetic traits. This finding confirms the presence of this species inthe Mexican Pacific. The species has not been collected since 1897; for this reason, its record and distribution in theMexican coast has been considered as in doubt by several authors.
