Resumo:	A new species of Centrolabrus, C. caeruleus sp. nov. (Teleostei, Labridae) is described from the Azores. This species was long thought to be identical with C. trutta (LOWE, 1833), the other macaronesian species of the genus, but differs from it in size, meristics and male nuptial coloration. C. caeruleus sp. nov. attains a larger size than C. trutta, has higher modal counts of rays (dorsal fin 26 versus 25, anal fin 14 versus 13) and of scales on the lateral line (33-34 versus 31-32), and the males are dark blue instead of bright green.
