Occurrence of Chaceon gordonae and C. sanctaehelenae (Crustacea: Brachyura: Geryonidae) off the Island of São Tomé (Published online)

Marine Biodiversity Records, 1.

To date only four specimens of Chaceon gordonae from Sierra Leone (West Africa) and one specimen of C. sanctaehelenae from Saint Helen Island (Central South Atlantic) are known from the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Recently both these Geryonid species were recorded off São Tomé Island, off the central west coast of Africa and found to sustain a small artisanal trap fishery.
