Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 September 2024
Abstract
Barnacles of the genus Conopea are obligate epibionts of gorgonians and antipatharians. The species Conopea saotomensis Carrison-Stone et al. 2013, previously only known from the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the coast of Gabon, is reported from the Bijagós archipelago, Guinea-Bissau, based on morphological examination and DNA barcoding of specimens. The new record extends the known range of the species about 3000 km to the northwest.
