A planta marinha Cymodocea nodosa, o zoantário Palythoa canariense, os opistobrânquios Dolabrifera dolabrifera, Elysia viridis, Marionia blainvillea, Thecacera pennigera, Polycera quadrilineata, Glossodoris edmunsii, Discodoris fragilis, o gastrópode pulmonado Onchidella cf. cellica, e a poliqueta Lygdamis murata são registados pela primeira vez nas costas da Madeira. Para Lygdamis murata este facto corresponde a uma extensão da sua distribuição conhecida para o Sul. Nos casos de P. canariense, D. dolabrifera, e D. fragilis, este facto corresponde a uma extensão da sua distribuição conhecida para o Norte. O nudibrânquio M. blainvillea era considerada uma espécie endémica do mar Mediterrâneo. No Atlântico Este as águas costeiras da Madeira parecem ser o limite Norte para muitas espécies tropicais.
ABSTRACT: The seagrass Cymodocea nodosa, the zoantharian Palythoa canariense, the opisthobranchs Dolabrifera dolabrifera. Elysia viridis, Marionia blainvillea, Thecacera pennigera, Polycera quadrilineala, Glossodoris edmunsii, Discodoris fragilis, the pulmonate Onchidella cf. celtica, and the polychaete Lygdamis murata are recorded from the coastal waters of Madeira for the first time. For L. murata this is a southward extension of the known range. For P. canariense, D. dolabrifera, and fragilis, this is a northward extension of the known range. The nudibranch M. blainvillea had previously been considered endemic for the Mediterranean Sea. In the Eastern Atlantic, the coastal waters of Madeira are the northern limit of distribution for many tropical species.
