Some new data on Xyrichthys novacula (Linnaeus, 1758) and Sparisoma (Euscarus) cretense (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Eastern Adriatic

A cleaver wrasse, Xyrichthys novacula, and a parrot fish, Sparisoma (Euscarus) cretense, were caught near Jelsa (Hvar Island) and the Vrhovnjaci archipleago in September and October 2000, respectively. Two specimens of parrotfish were also recorded by visual census in the Palagruža archipelago. As far as the cleaver wrasse is concerned this is, to our best knowledge, the northernmost record of this particular species in the Adriatic Sea. The main morphometric and meristic data are given for both species. The presented morphometric and meristic data of S. cretense are the first for this species from the Adriatic Sea.
