Apletodon wirtzi Fricke 2007
UFES 139 (2 specimens)
Ilheu
Santana,
Sao
Tome
. This species of the genus
Apletodon
is common on rocks in shallow water at
Sao
Tome
and at
Principe
. The species is being described by Fricke (2007), based on animals from
Principe
. We have also frequently seen it at
Sao
Tome
Island (Figure 17). The record of
Apletodon pellegrini
from
Annobon
Island/Equatorial Guinea, by Briggs (1990) may have been based on this species. The first author has recently (February 2007) collected this species near Limbe, Cameroon.
