Description
Genus Beroe sp. (cf cucumis) Müller, 1776
(Table 1, Fig. 4B)
Examined material: South Madeira Island, 32°38’22’’N 16°49’50’’W. One specimen was observed at around 2 m depth during a recreational free dive.
Description: Body cylindrical, flattened, opaque, without tentacles. Ctene rows with anastomosed canals.
Remark: The resolution of the photographed specimen is low due to the recording quality (GoPro Hero 7). Only two Beroe species have been recorded in Macaronesia: Beroe cucumis (Azores and Canary Islands) and Beroe ovata (Canary Islands) (Gueroun et al. 2021). As B. ovata aboral part tends to be wider than in B. cucumis, the specimen recorded in Madeira is more likely a B. cucumis.
