Pleurobranchus garciagomezi from Cape Verde Ids
August 19, 2003
From: Gérard Breton
Hello !
Between 22 - 30 March 2003 I dived at two islands of the Cape Verde archipelago: Sal and Fogo. Among my slides I have several opisthobranchs, which I would like confirmed.
This one is of Pleurobranchus garciagomezi.
Locality: Fereno, Sal. It is rather common in the south of Sal island on rocks, between 15 and 20m depth.
Best wishes.

Thanks for this record of P. garciagomezi. Considering what large geographic distributions most species of pleurobranch have, it is strange how this species seems to be restricted to a few eastern Atlantic islands.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
