Tanais dulongii Audouin 1826

Description

Tanais dulongii (Audouin, 1826)

Material examined. One female, length 2.5 mm, station LC 4-C, 28º 2’ 49’’ N, 16º 42’ 53’’W, 11 m depth, unvegetated sand, “Cak Foster” dredge, September 2013, coll. E. Ramos & R. Riera.

Remarks. Tanais dulongii was described from the coast of Egypt and has a broad distribution on Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts (Hamers et al. 2000; Bamber 2012) where it dwells littoral algae. In the Macaronesian region, early records of the species in the Azores were partially clarified by Bamber & Costa (2009), and later Bamber (2012) confirmed its presence in Cabo Verde and Madeira. This is the first record of T. dulongii for Tenerife, and the second for the Canary Islands after Sanz et al. (2003) found it in subtidal seabeds in SW Lanzarote.
