Holotúrias do litoral da Bahia (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea): inventário e novos registros

Holothuroids are echinoderms known by the cylindrical unarmed body and calcareous structures reduced to microscopic ossicles embed in the dermis. Out of the 40 species distributed for the entire Brazilian littoral, only twelve Holothuroidea species have been reported to Bahia State. The reduced numb...

Sumario:Holothuroids are echinoderms known by the cylindrical unarmed body and calcareous structures reduced to microscopic ossicles embed in the dermis. Out of the 40 species distributed for the entire Brazilian littoral, only twelve Holothuroidea species have been reported to Bahia State. The reduced number of species reveals restricted knowledge on the group, and the need of further taxonomical efforts comprising geographical areas of high biodiversity. Therefore, the present work aims to establish the first record of Parathyone suspecta and Holothuria arenicola to Bahia State.
