Description
Polybius cf. pusillus (Leach, 1816)
Fig. 60
Material examined
EQUATORIAL GUINEA − Annobon Island • 1 ♀ (6.4 ×6.7, damaged specimen); depth 10−15 m; Emilio Rolán leg.; MNCN20.04/06083.
Remarks
The specimen is not in good condition, and, to be cautious, it is identified as Polybius cf. pusillus. If this identification can be confirmed in the future, this record would extend the distribution for P. pusillus southward, down to Equatorial Guinea.
For identification, see also Froglia & Manning (1982).
