Figs 4A–L View Fig

Lepidochitona caboverdensis: Kaas & Strack 1986: 79 , figs 1–15; Kaas & Van Belle 1987: 31, fig. 14; Kaas 1991: 91; Slieker 2000: 28, fig. 17; Ardovini & Cossignani 2004: 18.

Holotype: MNHN, 5.8 × 3.2 mm, preserved dry. Paratypes: Many specimens in several institutions (see Kaas & Strack 1986). Type locality: Senegal, Dakar.

Chaetopleura caboverdensis: Rolán 2005: 27 View in CoL , fig. 2; Sirenko 2006: fig. 1I.

Material examined: ST03: 21 valves (4 head, maximum width 2.5 mm, 16 intermediate, maximum width 3 mm, and 1 tail, width 1.5 mm) ( ER); ST11: 21 valves (4 head, maximum width 2.3 mm, 15 intermediate, maximum width 3 mm, and 2 tail, maximum width 2.2 mm) ( BD 112A ); PR05: 1 intermediate valve, width 2.3 mm ( BD 112B ); PR07: 2 intermediate valves, maximum width 2.2 mm ( BD 112C ); CAPE VERDE: Cape Verde Archipelago, São Vicente , Praia da Matiota : 1 specimen ( BD 2919 ) .

Distribution: Cape Verde Archipelago, Senegal, and São Tomé and Príncipe Islands.

Comparison and remarks: This species was originally placed in the genus Lepidochitona , mainly due to the morphology of the ventral girdle scales and to the characters of the articulamentum, but was later considered as belonging to Chaetopleura (see Rolán 2005; Sirenko 2006). The available material was only separate valves, well defined by the subcarinate and slightly beaked intermediate valves, and by the characteristic microsculpture: rounded and elevated granules with a central macroaesthete on the top ( Figs 4C, 4I View Fig ). The microsculpture of a specimen of Chaetopleura caboverdensis from the Cape Verde Archipelago ( Figs 4K, 4L View Fig ) is presented for comparison. This is the first report of this species for the São Tomé and Príncipe Islands.
