Résumé

The three specimens of Chromogobius zabratus at Cádiz Bay are the first of this Mediterranean restricted species found in the Atlantic, and also represent a new species for the Spanish fauna. With data of the few specimens known, statistical analysis were made to fin frequency differences in the subspecific characteristics among different distribution zones of the species. The conclusion was reached that the subspecies Chromogobius zebratus zebratus is distributed from the Adriatic to Gulf of Cádiz, leaving Chromogobius zebratus levanticus restricted to the Eastern Mediterranean.
