Issue
ECoF (as of v. 04 Oct. 2022) keeps Engraulis albidus Borsa, Collet & Durand, 2004 as a separated valid species because the status of types is not explicitly stated in Ref. 126017.

This species is observed in brackish lagoons from the start of spring to the end of summer; leaves the lagoons in autumn to the nearby coastal marine waters (see Ref. 126017:598). It is presumed to spawn in lagoons in the summer (based on the observation of concentrations of small-sized anchovies together with large densities of eggs in the Thau lagoon, southern France, in July and on the presence of sexually mature individuals, 8-9 cm SL, in the Mauguio and Prevost lagoons, southern France, observed as early as May. In the northern Adriatic Sea, it lives at salinities less than 38 psu and depths less than 50 m (Ref. 76782).
