New records of marine invertebrates from Sao Tome and Principe, eastern Atlantic.

Arquipelago - Life and Marine Sciences, 35.

The following species are recorded from the coasts of São Tomé and Príncipe for the first time: the ciliate Zoothamnium niveum, the black coral Antipathella wollastoni, the zoanthid Isaurus tubercularis, and the shrimp Latreutes fucorum. The presence of the black coral Tanacetipathes spinescens and of the shrimp Cinetorhynchus rigens is confirmed. The presence of the crab Platypodiella picta at São Tome Island is confirmed and a possibly undescribed species of Platypodiella is recorded from Principe Island. Mistaken records of Stichopathes lutkeni are corrected: the species at São Tomé and Príncipe is Stichopathes occidentalis.
