Remarks

Caprella erethizon Mayer View in CoL has been considered, as well as C. tuberculata View in CoL , a rare species ( Chevreux and Fage, 1925). The original description of Mayer (1901) was poor, with only the female described. Chevreux and Fage (1925) redescribed the female and described the juvenile male of C. erethizon View in CoL with very schematic ®gures. Bertrand (1941) found an adult male of C. erethizon View in CoL but he added little information about its morphological characteristics. Bocquet and Peltier (1963) ®nally gave a precise redescription of this species. The specimens of C. erethizon View in CoL found in Ceuta, North Africa are identical to those described by these authors from RoscoOE (Atlantic French coasts). This species was previously recorded on Atlantic coasts of England and France and only one specimen has been found on the Atlantic Portuguese coast ( Marques and Bellan-Santini, 1985).
