Etymology: Irolita: From Irolita, a princess in love with prince Parcinus. The beauty of the princess was worthly the world´s admiration. Mythology.
Eponymy: Irolita is a beautiful female character in a fairy story written by Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville, Baroness d’Aulnoy (1650–1705).

Longueur à la première maturité / Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturité: Lm ?, range 46 - ? cm
Max length : 52.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 6871)
Occur over soft bottoms of the continental shelf (Ref. 7300, 75154). Oviparous. Distinct pairing with embrace. Young may tend to follow large objects, such as their mother (Ref. 205). Eggs are oblong capsules with stiff pointed horns at the corners deposited in sandy or muddy flats (Ref. 205). Egg capsules are 5.1-7.6 cm long and 3.2-3.8 cm wide (Ref. 41308). Males reaches maturity at ca. 46 cm TL. Occassionally caught as bycatch and typically discarded (Ref. 114953).
Cycle de vie et comportement reproducteur
Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves
Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Distinct pairing with embrace. Young may tend to follow large objects, such as their mother (Ref. 205).
