Sumario:Two specimens of anglerfish Lophius budegassa Spinola, 1807 with atypical characteristics, caught in the Bay of Biscay by trawlers during 1996 and 1997, are described. One of them was totally albinistic, with unpigmented peritoneum, blindness, and 5 rays at its first dorsal fin. The first three characteristics seem to be associated, and it is the largest albinistic specimen of L. budegassa described to date. The other specimen had orange spots on its dorsal side and on the edges of the pectoral fins on the ventral side.
