Abstract
Two specimens of Argyropelecus gigas and Conocara fiolenti were collected from off the city of Salalah on the Arabian Sea coasts of Oman. The specimens represent the first confirmed record of the species from the northwestern quadrat of the Indian Ocean. Meristic and morphometric characters match those described for these species.
