Abstract: A short fish note on two 'reversed' specimens of megrim Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis captured in Dingle Bay, Co. Kerry. Members of the group of flatfish called the Scophthalmidae usually have their eyes on the left side of the head, where as 'reversed' specimens have them on the right. This is only the second recorded specimen of this type in Irish waters.
