Abstract: | The shrimps Balssia gasti, Palaemonella atlantica, Periclimenes platalea, Periclimenes wirtzi, Pontonia manningi, Pontonia pinnophylax, Pontonia sp. nov., Pseudocoutierea wirtzi and the crabs Galathea intermedia and Micropisa ovata were collected from Antipatharia, Gorgonaria and Bivalvia at S?o Tiago Island, Republic of Cape Verde. Most of the associations between decapods and invertebrate hosts are reported here for the first time. This is also the first record of B. gasti and of P. wirtzi for the Cape Verde Islands. We briefly review the literature on littoral decapod crustaceans of the Cape Verde Islands. Received in revised form: 12 March 2001 Electronic Publication |
