Abstract |
Seven new species of opisthobranchs are recorded for the first time from the Azores. These are: Aegires sublaevis Odhnerm, 1931; Doto koenneckeri Lemche, 1976; Doto furva Garcia-Gomez and Ortea Rato, 1983; Favorinus branchialis (Rathke, 1806); Facelina annulicornis (Charmisso and Eisenhardt, 1821); Cuthona caerulea (Montagu, 1804) and Cuthona foliata. (Forbes and Goodsit, 1838). The total number of opisthobranch species is thus extended to 116. |
